Job 13:13-19

Expanded Bible

¹³ “Be quiet and let me speak.
    Let things happen to me as they will.
¹⁴ ·Why should I [or I will…] ·put myself in danger [^Ltake my flesh in my teeth; ^Ca metaphor for risk-taking]
    and take my life in my own ·hands [^Lpalm]?
¹⁵ ·Even if God kills me, I have hope in him [or See, he will kill me; I have no hope];
    I will ·still defend [reprove him concerning] my ways to his face.
¹⁶ This is my salvation.
    The wicked cannot come ·before him [into his presence].
¹⁷ Listen ·carefully [closely] to my words;
    let your ears hear what I say.
¹⁸ See, I have prepared ·my case [for the judgment],
    and I know I ·will be proved right [or am righteous].
¹⁹ ·No one can accuse [^LWho is it that accuses…?] me of doing wrong.
    If someone can, I will be quiet and die.
