Job 13:13-19

¶“Be silent before me so that I may speak; And let happen to me what may. “Why should I take my flesh in my teeth And put my life in my hands [incurring the wrath of God]? “Even though He kills me; I will hope in Him. Nevertheless, I will argue my ways to His face. “This also will be my salvation, For a godless man may not come before Him. “Listen diligently to my speech, And let my declaration fill your ears. “Behold now, I have prepared my case; I know that I will be vindicated. “Who will argue and contend with me? For then I would be silent and die.
