King James Version (KJV)

Job 19:24

“That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!”

Verse in context — Job 19

Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!

That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!

For I know [that] my redeemer liveth, and [that] he shall stand at the latter [day] upon the earth:

And [though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body], yet in my flesh shall I see God:

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
