23 “Oh that my words were written!
Oh that they were tinscribed in a book!
24 Oh that with an iron upen and lead
they were engraved in the rock forever!
25 For I vknow that my wRedeemer lives,
and at the last he will stand upon the xearth.1
26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed,
yet in2 my flesh I shall ysee God,
27 whom I shall see for myself,
and my eyes shall behold, and not zanother.
My heart afaints within me!
8 “Behold, xI go forward, but he is not there,
and backward, but I do not perceive him;
9 on the left hand when he is working, I do not behold him;
he turns to the right hand, but I do not see him.
10 But he yknows zthe way that I atake;
when he has btried me, I shall come out as gold.
