Job 13:13

Keep silent and let me speak! Then let come to me what may.

If only you would be altogether silent! For you, that would be wisdom.

Oh that God would be willing to crush me, to let loose his hand and cut me off!

I will not keep from speaking. I must express my anguish. I must complain in my bitterness.

I would rather die of strangulation than go on and on like this.

I loathe my very life. I will therefore give free rein to my complaint and speak out in my bitterness.

Bear with me, and I will speak. Then after I have spoken, mock on.

Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.

If only you would be altogether silent! For you, that would be wisdom.

I will not keep from speaking. I must express my anguish. I must complain in my bitterness.

I loathe my very life. I will therefore give free rein to my complaint and speak out in my bitterness.

Bear with me, and I will speak. Then after I have spoken, mock on.

Oh that God would be willing to crush me, to let loose his hand and cut me off!

I would rather die of strangulation than go on and on like this.
