Job 13:13-19
New International Version
13 “Keep silent(A) and let me speak;(B)
then let come to me what may.(C)
14 Why do I put myself in jeopardy
and take my life in my hands?(D)
15 Though he slay me, yet will I hope(E) in him;(F)
I will surely[a] defend my ways to his face.(G)
16 Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance,(H)
for no godless(I) person would dare come before him!(J)
17 Listen carefully to what I say;(K)
let my words ring in your ears.
18 Now that I have prepared my case,(L)
I know I will be vindicated.(M)
19 Can anyone bring charges against me?(N)
If so, I will be silent(O) and die.(P)

Job Resolves to Present His Case
13 “Don’t talk to me! It’s my turn to speak;
then whatever happens, happens.
14 Why shouldn’t I bite my flesh
or take my life in my hands?
15 Even though he kills me,
I’ll continue to hope in him.
At least I’ll be able to argue my case[a] to his face!
16 I have this as my salvation:
the godless person won’t be appearing before him.
17 Pay attention[b] to what I have to say
and listen to my testimony with your own ears.”
Job Presents His Conditions
18 “Look, now! I’ve prepared my case for court.[c]
I know that I’m going to win.[d]
19 Who can oppose me?
If they do, I’ll be silent and die.
