Job 13:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 13:13

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.
