Job 13:13-19
1599 Geneva Bible
13 Hold your tongues in my presence, that I may speak, and let come upon what will.
14 Wherefore do I [a]take my flesh in my teeth, and put my soul in my hand?
15 Lo, though he slay me, yet will I trust in him, and I will reprove my ways in his sight.
16 He shall be my salvation also: for the [b]hypocrite shall not come before him.
17 Hear diligently my words, and mark my talk.
18 Behold now: if I prepare me to judgment, I know that I shall be [c]justified.
19 Who is he that will plead [d]with me? for if I now hold my tongue, I [e]die.
