Job 13:19

Compare all

17 Listen carefully to my speech,
And to my declaration with your ears.

18 See now, I have prepared my case,
I know that I shall be ^avindicated.

19 ^aWho is he who will contend with me?
If now I hold my tongue, I perish.

Job’s Despondent Prayer

20 “Only^a two things do not do to me,
Then I will not hide myself from You:

21 ^aWithdraw Your hand far from me,
And let not the dread of You make me afraid.

Adam Clarke

<< Job 13:18

Job 13:20 >>

Who is he that will plead with me? - Let my accuser, the plaintiff, come forward; I will defend my cause against him.

I shall give up the ghost - I shall cease to breathe. Defending myself will be as respiration unto me; or, While he is stating his case, I will be so silent as scarcely to appear to breathe.
