Job 13:1-19
1“Indeed, my eyes have seen all this; my ears have heard and understood.2What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you.3Yet I desire to speak to the Almighty and argue my case before God.4You, however, smear with lies; you are all worthless physicians.5If only you would remain silent; for that would be your wisdom!
6Hear now my argument,and listen to the plea of my lips.7Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalfor speak deceitfully for Him?8Would you show Him partialityor argue in His defense?9Would it be well when He examined you?Could you deceive Him as you would deceive a man?10Surely He would rebuke youif you secretly showed partiality.11Would His majesty not terrify you?Would the dread of Him not fall upon you?12Your maxims are proverbs of ashes;your defenses are defenses of clay.
13Be silent, and I will speak.Then let come to me what may.14Why do I put myself at risk1and take my life in my own hands?15Though He slay me, I will hope in Him.2I will still defend my ways to His face.16Moreover, this will be my salvation,for no godless man can appear before Him.17Listen carefully to my words;let my declaration ring in your ears.18See now, I have prepared my case;I know that I will be vindicated.19Can anyone indict me?If so, I will be silent and die.
