The verses around Job 19:26.
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.
28But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
Verse explanation
“Yet in my flesh shall I see God” is still debated among scholars today — it is not clear whether Job speaks of seeing God still alive, after being healed, or after death; the Hebrew behind it is ambiguous enough to support both readings.
From the Job 19 study in Bible in Stories.
