Commentary for Job 19:26

And after my skin, they have cut into this Yet they do not pay heed to my Redeemer, but after the plague of my skin, they cut, strike, and pierce. This vexation and persecution that I mentioned, which is to me like one cutting into my skin, like (Isa. 10:34): “And the thickets of the forests shall be cut off (ונקף).”

Job maintains that the soul cannot live outside the body. Hence, since his body is beyond repair, what hope is there left to him? The assertion, made by his companions, that despite his physical decay he still has a soul within him, through which he can yet seek salvation, is a deceit; and let them beware, for the punishment for deceit is the sword.³Malbim draws a parallel between Job's words and the following passage from Exodus:
Do not cheat the stranger, nor oppress him; for you were yourselves strangers in the land of Egypt. Do not ill-treat any widow or orphan. Should you dare to ill-treat him, he will surely cry out unto Me. I will surely hear his cry. My anger will be aroused and I will kill you by the sword; and your wives will be widowed and your children fatherless. (Exodus 22: 21-23)
This is one of the few instances where the Torah spells out the punishment for a particular sin and specifies that it will be effected in this world.

and from my flesh I see judgments.

judgment Heb. אלוה, an expression of judgment and chastisements.
