Job 13:13-28

Job Is Sure He Will Be Vindicated

^{Tools

“^(A)Be silent before me so that I may speak;
Then let come on me what may.

^{Tools
14}

“Why should I take my flesh in my teeth
And ^(B)put my life in my ^(a)hands?

^{Tools
15}

“^(C)Though He slay me,
I will hope in Him.
Nevertheless I ^(D)will argue my ways ^(b)before Him.

^{Tools
16}

“This also will be my ^(E)salvation,
For ^(F)a godless man may not come before His presence.

^{Tools
17}

“Listen carefully to my speech,
And let my declaration fill your ears.

^{Tools
18}

“Behold now, I have ^(G)prepared my case;
I know that ^(H)I will be vindicated.

^{Tools
19}

“^(I)Who will contend with me?
For then I would be silent and ^(J)die.

^{Tools
20}

“Only two things do not do to me,
Then I will not hide from Your face:

^{Tools
21}

^(K)Remove Your ^(c)hand from me,
And let not the dread of You terrify me.

^{Tools
22}

“Then call, and ^(L)I will answer;
Or let me speak, then reply to me.

^{Tools
23}

“^(M)How many are my iniquities and sins?
Make known to me my ^(d)rebellion and my sin.

^{Tools
24}

“Why do You ^(N)hide Your face
And consider me ^(O)Your enemy?

^{Tools
25}

“Will You cause a ^(P)driven leaf to tremble?
Or will You pursue the dry ^(Q)chaff?

^{Tools
26}

“For You write ^(R)bitter things against me
And ^(S)make me to inherit the iniquities of my youth.

^{Tools
27}

“You ^(T)put my feet in the stocks
And watch all my paths;
You ^(e)set a limit for the soles of my feet,

^{Tools
28}

While ^(f)I am decaying like a ^(U)rotten thing,
Like a garment that is moth-eaten.
