Job 13:13-19
English Standard Version
13 “Let me have silence, and I will speak,
and let come on me what may.
14 Why should I take my flesh in my teeth
and (A)put my life in my hand?
15 (B)Though he slay me, I will (C)hope in him;[a]
yet I will (D)argue my ways to his face.
16 This will be my salvation,
that the godless shall not come before him.
17 (E)Keep listening to my words,
and let my declaration be in your ears.
18 Behold, I have (F)prepared my case;
I know that I shall be in the right.
19 (G)Who is there who will contend with me?
For then I would be silent and die.

Job 13:13-19
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 Be quiet,[a] and I will speak.
Let whatever comes happen to me.
14 Why do I put myself at risk[b]
and take my life in my own hands?
15 Even if He kills me, I will hope in Him.[c]
I will still defend(A) my ways before Him.
16 Yes, this will result in my deliverance,
for no godless person(B) can appear before Him.
17 Pay close attention to my words;
let my declaration ring in your ears.
18 Now then, I have prepared my case;(C)
I know that I am right.
19 Can anyone indict me?
If so, I will be silent and die.
