13 “Hold your peace; let me alone that I may speak, and let come on me what will.

14 Why do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?

15 Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him; but I will argue mine own ways before Him.

16 He also shall be my salvation, for a hypocrite shall not come before Him.

17 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.

18 Behold now, I have prepared my cause; I know that I shall be justified.

19 Who is he that will plead with me? For now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.

13 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak;
And let come on me what will.
14 [a]Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth,
And put my life in my hand?
15 [b]Behold, he will slay me; I have no hope:
Nevertheless I will [c]maintain my ways before him.
16 This also shall be my salvation,
That a godless man shall not come before him.
17 Hear diligently my speech,
And let my declaration be in your ears.
18 Behold now, I have set my cause in order;
I know that I [d]am righteous.
19 Who is he that will contend with me?
For then [e]would I hold my peace and give up the ghost.
