Job 13:13-19 - Be Quiet While I Speak

¹³ “Be silent before me so that I may speak;
Then let come on me what may.
¹⁴ “Why should I take my flesh in my teeth
And put my life in my hands?
¹⁵ “Though He slay me,
I will hope in Him.
Nevertheless I will argue my ways before Him.
¹⁶ “This also will be my salvation,
For a godless man may not come before His presence.
¹⁷ “Listen carefully to my speech,
And let my declaration fill your ears.
¹⁸ “Behold now, I have prepared my case;
I know that I will be vindicated.
¹⁹ “Who will contend with me?
For then I would be silent and die.
