Iob 19

¹Then Iob answered, and sayd,

²How long will yee vexe my soule, and breake me in pieces with words?

³These tenne times haue ye reproched me: you are not ashamed that you make your selues strange to me.

⁴And be it indeed that I haue erred, mine errour remaineth with my selfe.

⁵If indeed yee will magnifie your selues against me, and plead against me my reproch:

⁶Know now that God hath ouerthrowen me, and hath compassed me with his net.

⁷Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloude, but there is no iudgement.

⁸Hee hath fenced vp my way that I cannot passe; and hee hath set darkenesse in my pathes.

⁹Hee hath stript me of my glory, and taken the crowne from my head.

¹⁰He hath destroyed me on euery side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he remooued like a tree.

¹¹He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and hee counteth me vnto him as one of his enemies.

¹²His troupes come together, and raise vp their way against me, and encampe round about my tabernacle.

¹³Hee hath put my brethren farre from me, and mine acquaintance are verely estranged from me.

¹⁴My kinsefolke haue failed, and my familiar friends haue forgotten me.

¹⁵They that dwell in mine house, and my maides count me for a stranger: I am an aliant in their sight.

¹⁶I called my seruant, and he gaue me no answere: I intreated him with my mouth.

¹⁷My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the childrens sake of mine owne body.

¹⁸Yea, yong children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.

¹⁹All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loued, are turned against me.

²⁰My bone cleaueth to my skinne, and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skinne of my teeth.

²¹Haue pity vpon me, haue pitie vpon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.

²²Why doe ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

²³Oh that my wordes were now written, oh that they were printed in a booke!

²⁴That they were grauen with an iron pen and lead, in the rocke for euer.

²⁵For I know that my Redeemer liueth, and that he shall stand at the latter day, vpon the earth:

²⁶And though after my skin, wormes destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

²⁷Whom I shal see for my selfe, and mine eyes shall beholde, and not another, though my reines bee consumed within me.

²⁸But ye should say, Why persecute we him? seeing the root of the matter is found in me.

²⁹Bee ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that yee may know there is a iudgement.
