Job 13:13-19
World English Bible
13 “Be silent!
Leave me alone, that I may speak.
Let come on me what will.
14 Why should I take my flesh in my teeth,
and put my life in my hand?
15 Behold, he will kill me.
I have no hope.
Nevertheless, I will maintain my ways before him.
16 This also will be my salvation,
that a godless man will not come before him.
17 Listen carefully to my speech.
Let my declaration be in your ears.
18 See now, I have set my cause in order.
I know that I am righteous.
19 Who is he who will contend with me?
For then would I hold my peace and give up the spirit.
Job 13:13-19
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 Be quiet,[a] and I will speak.
Let whatever comes happen to me.
14 Why do I put myself at risk[b]
and take my life in my own hands?
15 Even if He kills me, I will hope in Him.[c]
I will still defend(A) my ways before Him.
16 Yes, this will result in my deliverance,
for no godless person(B) can appear before Him.
17 Pay close attention to my words;
let my declaration ring in your ears.
18 Now then, I have prepared my case;(C)
I know that I am right.
19 Can anyone indict me?
If so, I will be silent and die.
