Job 13:13
Compare all
11 Will not His1 excellence make you afraid,
And the dread of Him fall upon you? 
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. 
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 “Onlya 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.
