Job 13:13-19

13Hold your peace from me, and I will speak, and let come on me what [will]!

14Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand?

15Behold, if he slay me, yet would I trust in him; but I will defend mine own ways before him.

16This also shall be my salvation, that a profane man shall not come before his face.

17Hear attentively my speech and my declaration with your ears.

18Behold now, I have ordered the cause; I know that I shall be justified.

19Who is he that contendeth with me? For if I were silent now, I should expire.
