Job 13:13-19

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹³ Silence! Let me speak.
I intend to speak up, no matter what happens.
¹⁴ Why do I bite my flesh with my teeth?
Why do I take my life in my hands?
¹⁵ Even if he slays me, I will wait for him with hope.^[a]
No matter what, I will defend my ways to his face.
¹⁶ Even this may turn out for my salvation,
for no godless person would dare to face him.
¹⁷ Listen carefully to my words!
Give my testimony a hearing.
¹⁸ Please, listen. I have laid out my case.
I know that I am innocent.
¹⁹ Who can make a case against me?
If anyone can, I will be quiet and die.
