13 (A)Be silent before me so that I may speak;
Then let come on me what may.
14 Why should I take my flesh in my teeth
And (B)put my life in my [a]hands?
15 [b](C)Though He slay me,
I will hope in Him.
Nevertheless I (D)will argue my ways [c]before Him.
16 This also will be my (E)salvation,
For (F)a godless man may not come before His presence.
17 [d]Listen carefully to my words,
And let my declaration fill your ears.
18 Behold now, I have (G)arranged my case for justice;
I know that (H)I will be declared righteous.
19 (I)Who will contend with me?
For now I am silent and (J)will breathe my last.

Job Is Sure He Will Be Vindicated

13 (A)Be silent before me so that I may speak;
Then let come upon me what may.
14 Why should I take my flesh in my teeth,
And (B)put my life in my [a]hands?
15 (C)Though He slay me,
I will [b]hope in Him.
Nevertheless I (D)will argue my ways [c]before Him.
16 This also will be my (E)salvation,
For (F)a godless person cannot come before His presence.
17 Listen carefully to my speech,
And let my declaration fill your ears.
18 Behold now, I have (G)prepared my case;
I know that (H)I will be vindicated.
19 (I)Who could contend with me?
For then I would be silent and (J)die.
