20. I am nothing but skin and bones;I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.
21. ‘Have pity on me, my friends, have pity,for the hand of God has struck me.
22. Why do you pursue me as God does?Will you never get enough of my flesh?
23. ‘Oh, that my words were recorded,that they were written on a scroll,
24. that they were inscribed with an iron tool on lead,or engraved in rock for ever!
25. I know that my redeemer lives,and that in the end he will stand on the earth.
