Read in chapter context · Job 19

Both translations, side by side

WEB · World English Bible

"But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth."

KJV · King James Version

"For I know3045 that my redeemer1350 liveth2416, and that he shall stand6965 at the latter314 day upon the earth6083:"

How the translations differ: The WEB is a modern public-domain revision of the 1901 ASV; the KJV dates to 1611. The KJV uses liveth, and, shall, latter, while the WEB renders these as but, lives, end, will. Both translate the same underlying Greek or Hebrew text — the differences are stylistic, not theological.

Book background

About the Book of Job

Testament: Old Testament
Genre: Wisdom literature
Author: Unknown
Date written: Possibly patriarchal era (c. 2000 BC); written down later
Audience: Ancient Israel
Chapters: 42

Job, "blameless and upright," loses his children, wealth, and health in a heavenly contest he never sees. His three friends insist his suffering must be punishment for sin; Job protests his innocence and demands an audience with God. When God finally speaks from the whirlwind, He does not answer the "why" but reveals Himself — and Job is satisfied. The book reframes how Christians read suffering.

Setting: The land of Uz; Job's story sits outside Israel's national history.

Key themes: suffering · God's sovereignty · integrity · mystery · restoration
