Job 19:25–27

25 I know that my redeemer lives,

and that in the end he will stand on the earth.

26 And after my skin has been destroyed,

yet in my flesh I will see God;

27 I myself will see him

with my own eyes—I, and not another.

How my heart yearns within me!

25 For I know that my Redeemer lives,

and at the last he will stand upon the earth.

26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed,

yet in my flesh I shall see God,

27 whom I shall see for myself,

and my eyes shall behold, and not another.

My heart faints within me!

25 For I know that my redeemer liveth,

And that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body,

Yet in my flesh shall I see God:

27 Whom I shall see for myself,

And mine eyes shall behold, and not another;

Though my reins be consumed within me.

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!

25 For I know that my Redeemer lives,

And He shall stand at last on the earth;

26 And after my skin is destroyed, this I know,

That in my flesh I shall see God,

27 Whom I shall see for myself,

And my eyes shall behold, and not another.

How my heart yearns within me!

25 I know that my Defender lives,

and in the end he will stand upon the earth.

26 Even after my skin has been destroyed,

in my flesh I will see God.

27 I will see him myself;

I will see him with my very own eyes.

How my heart wants that to happen!

25 But as for me I know that my Redeemer liveth,

And at last he will stand up upon the earth:

26 And after my skin, even this body, is destroyed,

Then without my flesh shall I see God;

27 Whom I, even I, shall see, on my side,

And mine eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger.

My heart is consumed within me.

25 And as for me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and the Last, he shall stand upon the earth; 26 And if after my skin this shall be destroyed, yet from out of my flesh shall I see †God; 27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another: —my reins are consumed within me.

25 But I know that my defender lives, 

and afterwards, he will rise on the earth. 

26 Even after my skin has been stripped off my body, 

I will see God in my own flesh. 

27 I will see him with my own eyes, 

not with someone else’s. 

My heart fails inside me! 

25 But I know my living Redeemer,

and He will stand on the dust at last.

26 Even after my skin has been destroyed,

yet I will see God in my flesh.

27 I will see Him myself;

my eyes will look at Him, and not as a stranger.

My heart longs within me.

25 For I know that my vindicator lives

and that in the end he will stand upon the earth;

26 and after my skin has been destroyed,

then in my flesh I shall see God,

27 whom I shall see on my side,

and my eyes shall behold, and not another.

My heart faints within me!

25 I know that my Redeemer lives.

In the end he will stand on the earth.

26 After my skin has been destroyed,

in my body I’ll still see God.

27 I myself will see him with my own eyes.

I’ll see him, and he won’t be a stranger to me.

How my heart longs for that day!

25 “As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,

And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.

26 “Even after my skin is destroyed,

Yet from my flesh I shall see God;

27 Whom I myself shall behold,

And whom my eyes will see and not another.

My heart faints within me!
