Study Lenses

The verse centers on "that--i", "known", "redeemer", "living", "last", "dust", "doth", and "rise". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "that--i" and "known", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 24's "With a pen of iron and lead--For..." into verse 26's "And after my skin hath compassed this...", so "that--i" and "known" belong inside that flow. In Job context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "that--i" and "known" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
