19:21. Have pity on me, have pity on me, at least you my friends,
because the hand of the Lord hath touched me.
19:22. Why do you persecute me as God, and glut yourselves with my
flesh?

that they may be marked down in a book?
19:24. With an iron pen and in a plate of lead, or else be graven with

rise out of the earth.
Ver. 25, 26, and 27 shew Job's explicit belief in his Redeemer, and also
of the resurrection of the flesh, not as one tree riseth in place of
another, but that the selfsame flesh shall rise at the last day, by the

shall see my God.

occasion of word against him?
19:29. Flee then from the face of the sword, for the sword is the
revenger of iniquities: and know ye that there is a judgment.

spirit of my understanding shall answer for me.
20:4. This I know from the beginning, since man was placed upon the
earth,
20:5. That the praise of the wicked is short, and the joy of the
hypocrite but for a moment.
20:6. If his pride mount up even to heaven, and his head touch the
clouds:
20:7. In the end he shall be destroyed like a dunghill, and they that
had seen him, shall say: Where is he?
20:8. As a dream that fleeth away he shall not be found, he shall pass
as a vision of the night:
20:9. The eyes that had seen him, shall see him no more, neither shall
his place any more behold him.
20:10. His children shall be oppressed with want, and his hands shall
render to him his sorrow.
20:11. His bones shall be filled with the vices of his youth, and they
