Job 19:28

World English Bible (WEB)

If you say, ‘How we will persecute him!’ because the root of the matter is found in me,

In context

26 After my skin is destroyed, then I will see God in my flesh,

27 whom I, even I, will see on my side. My eyes will see, and not as a stranger. “My heart is consumed within me.

28 If you say, ‘How we will persecute him!’ because the root of the matter is found in me,

29 be afraid of the sword, for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment.”
