22
Why do you persecute me as God does, And are not satisfied with my flesh?
23
"Oh, that my words were written! Oh, that they were inscribed in a book!
24
That they were engraved on a rock With an iron pen and lead, forever!
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!
28
If you should say, 'How shall we persecute him?'-- Since the root of the matter is found in me,
29
Be afraid of the sword for yourselves; For wrath brings the punishment of the sword, That you may know there is a judgment."
