Job 19:25-29 – I know that my redeemer lives,
and that in the end he will stand on the earth.
And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another.
How my heart yearns within me!
“If you say, ‘How we will hound him,
since the root of the trouble lies in him,’
you should fear the sword yourselves;
for wrath will bring punishment by the sword,
and then you will know that there is judgment.”
Psalm
63:1 – You, God,
are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where
there is no water.
Application:
- · “Dry and parched land” was a metaphor for his situation of need, in which he does not taste “the richest of foods” supplied by the “river whose streams make glad the city of God”
- · The Hebrew for “hound” is translated “pursue”.
- · Job senses that the ravages of his disease will eventually bring about his death.
