King James Version (KJV)

Job 19:28

“But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?”

Verse in context — Job 19

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

Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; [though] my reins be consumed within me.

But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?

Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath [bringeth] the punishments of the sword, that ye may know [there is] a judgment.

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