Job 13:13-19
Lexham English Bible
13 “Let me have silence,[a] and I myself[b] will speak,
and let come over me whatever may.
14 Why should I take my flesh in my teeth
and[c] put[d] my life in my hand?
15 Look,[e] though he kill me, I will hope in[f] him;
however, I will defend my ways before him.[g]
16 Moreover, this is salvation to me,
that the godless would not come before him.[h]
17 “Listen carefully to my words,
and let my exposition be in your ears.
18 Please look,[i] I have prepared my case;
I know that I myself[j] will be vindicated.
19 Who is he who will contend with me?
For then I would be silent, and I would pass away.

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.
