Job's Sixth Speech: A Response to Bildad
Chapter 19
-
Then Job spoke again:
-
"How long will you torture me? How long will you try to crush me with your words?
-
You have already insulted me ten times. You should be ashamed of treating me so badly.
-
Even if I have sinned, that is my concern, not yours.
-
You think you're better than I am, using my humiliation as evidence of my sin.
-
But it is God who has wronged me, capturing me in his net.
-
"I cry out, 'Help!' but no one answers me. I protest, but there is no justice.
-
God has blocked my way so I cannot move. He has plunged my path into darkness.
-
He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head.
-
He has demolished me on every side, and I am finished. He has uprooted my hope like a fallen tree.
-
His fury burns against me; he counts me as an enemy.
-
His troops advance. They build up roads to attack me. They camp all around my tent.
-
"My relatives stay far away, and my friends have turned against me.
-
My family is gone, and my close friends have forgotten me.
-
My servants and maids consider me a stranger. I am like a foreigner to them.
-
When I call my servant, he doesn't come; I have to plead with him!
-
My breath is repulsive to my wife. I am rejected by my own family.
-
Even young children despise me. When I stand to speak, they turn their backs on me.
-
My close friends detest me. Those I loved have turned against me.
-
I have been reduced to skin and bones and have escaped death by the skin of my teeth.
-
"Have mercy on me, my friends, have mercy, for the hand of God has struck me.
-
Must you also persecute me, like God does? Haven't you chewed me up enough?
-
"Oh, that my words could be recorded. Oh, that they could be inscribed on a monument,
-
carved with an iron chisel and filled with lead, engraved forever in the rock.
-
"But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last.
-
And after my body has decayed, yet in my body I will see God!
-
I will see him for myself. Yes, I will see him with my own eyes. I am overwhelmed at the thought!
-
"How dare you go on persecuting me, saying, 'It's his own fault'?
-
You should fear punishment yourselves, for your attitude deserves punishment. Then you will know that there is indeed a judgment."
