Job 13:13-19
New Living Translation
13 “Be silent now and leave me alone.
Let me speak, and I will face the consequences.
14 Why should I put myself in mortal danger[a]
and take my life in my own hands?
15 God might kill me, but I have no other hope.[b]
I am going to argue my case with him.
16 But this is what will save me—I am not godless.
If I were, I could not stand before him.
17 “Listen closely to what I am about to say.
Hear me out.
18 I have prepared my case;
I will be proved innocent.
19 Who can argue with me over this?
And if you prove me wrong, I will remain silent and die.
Job 13:13-19

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.
