Job 13:12-21 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

12. Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ash; your defenses are made of clay.

13. Be quiet, and I will speak.Let whatever comes happen to me.

14. Why do I put myself at risk and take my life in my own hands?

15. Even if He kills me, I will hope in Him. I will still defend my ways before Him.

16. Yes, this will result in my deliverance,for no godless person can appear before Him.

17. Pay close attention to my words;let my declaration ring in your ears.

18. Now then, I have prepared my case; I know that I am right.

19. Can anyone indict me?If so, I will be silent and die.

20. Only grant these two things to me, God,so that I will not have to hide from Your presence:

21. remove Your hand from me,and do not let Your terror frighten me.
