2. How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
-
Hebrew
- עַד־אָנָה תּוֹגְיוּן נַפְשִׁי וּתְדַכְּאוּנַנִי בְמִלִּים׃

25. For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the
latter day upon the earth:
-
Hebrew
- וַאֲנִי יָדַעְתִּי גֹּאֲלִי חָי וְאַחֲרוֹן עַל־עָפָר יָקוּם׃
-
26. And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh
shall I see God:
-
Hebrew
- וְאַחַר עוֹרִי נִקְּפוּ־זֹאת וּמִבְּשָׂרִי אֶחֱזֶה אֱלוֹהַּ׃
-
27.↓ Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though
my reins be consumed within me.
-
Hebrew
- אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי אֶחֱזֶה־לִּי וְעֵינַי רָאוּ וְלֹא־זָר כָּלוּ כִלְיֹתַי בְּחֵקִי׃
