²³Oh that my words were now written!

Oh that they were printed in a book!

²⁴That they were graven with an iron pen and lead

In the rock for ever!

²⁵For I know that my redeemer liveth,

And that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

²⁶And though after my skin worms destroy this body,

Yet in my flesh shall I see God:

²⁷Whom I shall see for myself,

And mine eyes shall behold, and not another;

Though my reins be consumed within me.
