Holy Scripture

Job 19:22

A church father on this verse
“"Why do you persecute me as also the Lord does, and are not satisfied with my flesh? Why do you add your wrath to divine wrath without doing this according to God's will? Even though God punishes, he, nonetheless, wants to be good to us—and therefore, why do you insatiably use the harshness of your words against me?"…”
Olympiodorus of Alexandria, 6th c. — COMMENTARY ON JOB 19:20-22

20My flesh is corrupt under my skin, And my bones are held in my teeth.

21Pity me, pity me, O friends; For it is the hand of the Lord that has touched me.

— Job 19:22 —

23For oh that my words were written, And that they were recorded in a book forever,

24With an iron pen and lead, Or graven in the rocks!
