## Job 19:23-26 in Context (Verses 20–29 KJV)
 
 [20 ](/kjv/job/19/20) My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.*
 
 [21 ](/kjv/job/19/21) Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/job/19/22) Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
 
 [23 ](/kjv/job/19/23) Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!*
 
 [24 ](/kjv/job/19/24) That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
 
 [25 ](/kjv/job/19/25) For I know *that* my redeemer liveth, and *that* he shall stand at the latter *day* upon the earth:
 
 [26 ](/kjv/job/19/26) And *though* after my skin *worms* destroy this *body*, yet in my flesh shall I see God:*
 
 [27 ](/kjv/job/19/27) Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; *though* my reins be consumed within me.***
 
 [28 ](/kjv/job/19/28) But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?*
 
 [29 ](/kjv/job/19/29) Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath *bringeth* the punishments of the sword, that ye may know *there is* a judgment.
 
[Job 18](/kjv/job/18) [Job 20](/kjv/job/20)
