Job 19:28
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?”
דָּבָר
In Hebrew, dabar is not just a word spoken — it is a word that accomplishes something. God's dabar does not return empty. The psalmist says this word is a lamp to his feet — not a floodlight revealing everything ahead, but enough light for the next step. That is faith.
