They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight (19:15) I called my servant, and he gave [me] no answer; I entreated him with my mouth (19:16) My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the children's [sake] of mine own body (19:17) Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me (19:18) All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me (19:19) My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth (19:20) Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me (19:21) Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? (19:22) Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! (19:23) That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever! (19:24) For I know [that] my redeemer liveth, and [that] he shall stand at the latter [day] upon the earth: (19:25) And [though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body], yet in my flesh shall I see God: (19:26) Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; [though] my reins be consumed within me (19:27) But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me? (19:28) Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath [bringeth] the punishments of the sword, that ye may know [there is] a judgment
(19:29)
