Job 13:13-19
Lexham English Bible
13 “Let me have silence,[a] and I myself[b] will speak,
and let come over me whatever may.
14 Why should I take my flesh in my teeth
and[c] put[d] my life in my hand?
15 Look,[e] though he kill me, I will hope in[f] him;
however, I will defend my ways before him.[g]
16 Moreover, this is salvation to me,
that the godless would not come before him.[h]
17 “Listen carefully to my words,
and let my exposition be in your ears.
18 Please look,[i] I have prepared my case;
I know that I myself[j] will be vindicated.
19 Who is he who will contend with me?
For then I would be silent, and I would pass away.
