Job 13:13-19

International Children’s Bible

¹³ “Be quiet and let me speak.
    Then let things happen to me as they will.
¹⁴ I will put myself in danger
    and take my life in my own hands.
¹⁵ He will kill me. I have no hope.^[a]
    But I still will defend my ways to his face.
¹⁶ This might really save me,
    because a wicked man would not be brave enough to come before him.
¹⁷ Listen carefully to what I say.
    Let your ears hear what I say.
¹⁸ See now, I have prepared my case.
    I know I will be proved right.
¹⁹ No one can blame me for doing wrong.
    If someone can, I will be quiet and die.
