Job 13:13-19
American Standard Version
13 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak;
And let come on me what will.
14 [a]Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth,
And put my life in my hand?
15 [b]Behold, he will slay me; I have no hope:
Nevertheless I will [c]maintain my ways before him.
16 This also shall be my salvation,
That a godless man shall not come before him.
17 Hear diligently my speech,
And let my declaration be in your ears.
18 Behold now, I have set my cause in order;
I know that I [d]am righteous.
19 Who is he that will contend with me?
For then [e]would I hold my peace and give up the ghost.
Job 13:13-19
New International Version
13 “Keep silent(A) and let me speak;(B)
then let come to me what may.(C)
14 Why do I put myself in jeopardy
and take my life in my hands?(D)
15 Though he slay me, yet will I hope(E) in him;(F)
I will surely[a] defend my ways to his face.(G)
16 Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance,(H)
for no godless(I) person would dare come before him!(J)
17 Listen carefully to what I say;(K)
let my words ring in your ears.
18 Now that I have prepared my case,(L)
I know I will be vindicated.(M)
19 Can anyone bring charges against me?(N)
If so, I will be silent(O) and die.(P)
