Job 13:14

Job 13:14

Compare all

12 Your platitudes are proverbs of ashes,
Your defenses are defenses of clay.

13 “Hold¹ your peace with me, and let me speak,
Then let come on me what may!

14 Why ^ado I take my flesh in my teeth,
And put my life in my hands?

15 ^aThough He slay me, yet will I trust Him.
^bEven so, I will defend my own ways before Him.

16 He also shall be my salvation,
For a ^ahypocrite could not come before Him.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Job 13:13

Job 13:15 >>

Wherefore - And this may be a reason of his desire of liberty of speech, because he could hold his tongue no longer, but must needs tear himself to pieces, if he had not some vent for his grief. The phrase having his life in his hand, denotes a condition extremely dangerous.
