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.

    and let come on me what may.
14 I will take[a] my flesh in my teeth,

15 Behold, he will slay me; I have no hope;
    yet I will defend my ways to his face.
16 This will be my salvation,
    that a godless man shall not come before him.
