19:1  Then Job answered and said,
 19:2  How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces
with words?
 19:3  These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not
ashamed [that] ye make yourselves strange to me.
 19:4  And be it indeed [that] I have erred, mine error
remaineth with myself.
 19:5  If indeed ye will magnify [yourselves] against me, and
plead against me my reproach:
 19:6  Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed
me with his net.
 19:7  Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry
aloud, but [there is] no judgment.
 19:8  He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath
set darkness in my paths.
 19:9  He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown
[from] my head.
 19:10  He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and
mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
 19:11  He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he
counteth me unto him as [one of] his enemies.
 19:12  His troops come together, and raise up their way
against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
 19:13  He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine
acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
 19:14  My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have
forgotten me.
 19:15  They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me
for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
 19:16  I called my servant, and he gave [me] no answer; I
entreated him with my mouth.
 19:17  My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for
the children's [sake] of mine own body.
 19:18  Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they
spake against me.
 19:19  All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I
loved are turned against me.
 19:20  My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am
escaped with the skin of my teeth.
 19:21  Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends;
for the hand of God hath touched me.
 19:22  Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied
with my flesh?
 19:23  Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were
printed in a book!
 19:24  That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the
rock for ever!
 19:25  For I know [that] my redeemer liveth, and [that] he
shall stand at the latter [day] upon the earth:
 19:26  And [though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body],
yet in my flesh shall I see God:
 19:27  Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall
behold, and not another; [though] my reins be consumed within
me.
 19:28  But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the
root of the matter is found in me?
 19:29  Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath [bringeth] the
punishments of the sword, that ye may know [there is] a
judgment.
