Job 19:26

24 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.

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

27 I will see Him for myself; my eyes will behold Him, and not as a stranger. How my heart yearns within me!

28 If you say, ‘Let us persecute him, since the root of the matter lies with him,’

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
