Job 13:13-19

13"Let me have silence, and I will speak, and let come on me what may.

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

15Though he slay me, I will hope in him; yet I will argue my ways to his face.

16This will be my salvation, that the godless shall not come before him.

17Keep listening to my words, and let my declaration be in your ears.

18Behold, I have prepared my case; I know that I shall be in the right.

19Who is there who will contend with me? For then I would be silent and die.
