Commentary on Job 19:27Heading. (Summary)

Job 19:27 (ESV)

27 whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. My heart faints within me!

Job emphasizes that it is he (I…, and not another), whom everyone counts as a wicked sinner, who will see God. He will encounter God not as a wrathful enemy, but as a friend, a Redeemer. He yearns for the day when God will publicly show favour toward him.
