Job 13:13-19
New American Standard Bible
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.
Job 13:13-19
Christian Standard Bible
13 Be quiet,[a] and I will speak.
Let whatever comes happen to me.
14 I will put[b] myself at risk[c]
and take my life in my own hands.
15 Even if he kills me, I will hope in him.[d]
I will still defend(A) my ways before him.
16 Yes, this will result in my deliverance,
for no godless person(B) can appear before him.
17 Pay close attention to my words;
let my declaration ring in your ears.
18 Now then, I have prepared my case;(C)
I know that I am right.
19 Can anyone indict me?
If so, I will be silent and die.
