Job 13:13-19
Legacy Standard Bible
13 “(A)Be silent before me so that I may speak;
Then let come on me what may.
14 Why should I take my flesh in my teeth
And (B)put my life in my [a]hands?
15 [b](C)Though He slay me,
I will hope in Him.
Nevertheless I (D)will argue my ways [c]before Him.
16 This also will be my (E)salvation,
For (F)a godless man may not come before His presence.
17 [d]Listen carefully to my words,
And let my declaration fill your ears.
18 Behold now, I have (G)arranged my case for justice;
I know that (H)I will be declared righteous.
19 (I)Who will contend with me?
For now I am silent and (J)will breathe my last.
Job 13:13-19
New American Standard Bible
Job Is Sure He Will Be Vindicated
13 “(A)Be silent before me so that I may speak;
Then let come upon me what may.
14 Why should I take my flesh in my teeth,
And (B)put my life in my [a]hands?
15 (C)Though He slay me,
I will [b]hope in Him.
Nevertheless I (D)will argue my ways [c]before Him.
16 This also will be my (E)salvation,
For (F)a godless person cannot come before His presence.
17 Listen carefully to my speech,
And let my declaration fill your ears.
18 Behold now, I have (G)prepared my case;
I know that (H)I will be vindicated.
19 (I)Who could contend with me?
For then I would be silent and (J)die.
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)
