Job 13:13-19

New International Reader's Version

¹³ “So be quiet and let me speak.
    Then I won’t care what happens to me.
¹⁴ Why do I put myself in danger?
    Why do I take my life in my hands?
¹⁵ Even if God kills me, I’ll still put my hope in him.
    I’ll argue my case in front of him.
¹⁶ No matter how things turn out,
    I’m sure I’ll still be saved.
After all, no ungodly person
    would dare to come into his court.
¹⁷ Listen carefully to what I’m saying.
    Pay close attention to my words.
¹⁸ I’ve prepared my case.
    And I know I’ll be proved right.
¹⁹ Can others bring charges against me?
    If they can, I’ll keep quiet and die.
