Job 19:23-27

Job 19:23-27 (KJV)
23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

Job 17:9

Job 17:9 (KJV)
9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.

Job Was Losing Hope

Job only wanted comfort while in his trials, but it was nowhere to be found. Therefore, his hope was diminishing.
