Job 19:29

Judgment

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,’

then you should fear the sword yourselves, because wrath brings punishment by the sword, so that you may know there is a judgment.”
