23. “O that my words were written down,O that they were written on a scroll,
24. that with an iron chisel and with leadthey were engraved in a rock forever!
25. As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,and that as the last he will stand upon the earth.
26. And after my skin has been destroyed,yet in my flesh I will see God,
27. whom I will see for myself,and whom my own eyes will behold, and not another.My heart grows faint within me.
