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