Quotes about immeasurable (16 Quotes)


    Centuries earlier, Job suffered immeasurable losses. His wealth was stripped from him his family destroyed. Finally, after all else was gone, he was stricken with boils and failing health. Every day and every hour he suffered physical, emotional, and spiritual pain. His friends mocked him, but Job remained faithful. He emphatically declared, For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh I shall see God. (Job 19 25-26.)
