Job 19:24

22 Why do you persecute me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh?

23 I wish that my words were recorded and inscribed in a book,

by an iron stylus on lead, or chiseled in stone forever.

25 But I know that my Redeemer lives, and in the end He will stand upon the earth.

26 Even after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God.
