Job 19:28

Job: My Redeemer Lives

27I will see Him for myself; my eyes will behold Him, and not as a stranger. How my heart yearns within me! 28If you say, ‘Let us persecute him, since the root of the matter lies with him, ’ 29then you should fear the sword yourselves, because wrath brings punishment by the sword, so that you may know there is a judgment.”
