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

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 shall be my salvation, that a godless man shall not come before him. ¹⁷ Hear diligently 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.
