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.
