Job 13:8-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 13
8
Will you show partiality for Him?
Will you contend for God?
9
Will it go
well when He examines you?
Or will you deceive Him as one deceives a man?
10
He will certainly punish you
If you secretly show partiality.
11
Will His majesty not terrify you,
And the dread of Him fall upon you?
12
Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes,
Your defenses are defenses of clay.
13
'Be silent before me so that I may speak;
Then let come upon me what
may.
14
Why should I take my flesh in my teeth,
And put my life in my hands?
15
Though He slay me,
I will hope in Him.
Nevertheless I will argue my ways before Him.
16
This also
will be
my salvation,
For a godless person cannot come before His presence.
17
Listen carefully to my speech,
And let my declaration
fill
your ears.
18
Behold now, I have prepared my case;
I know that I will be vindicated.
19
Who could contend with me?
For then I would be silent and die.
20
'Only two things
I ask that You
do not do to me,
Then I will not hide from Your face:
21
Remove Your hand from me,
And may the dread of You not terrify me.
22
Then call and I will answer;
Or let me speak, then reply to me.
King James Version
Chapter 13
8
Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
9
Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
10
He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
11
Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
12
Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
13
Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
14
Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
15
Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
16
He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
17
Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
18
Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
19
Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
20
Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
21
Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
22
Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 13
8
Would you show partiality to him
or argue the case in his defense?
9
Would it go well if he examined you?
Could you deceive him as you would deceive a man?
10
Surely he would rebuke you
if you secretly showed partiality.
11
Would God’s majesty not terrify you?
Would his dread not fall on you?
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
I will 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.
22
Then call, and I will answer,
or I will speak, and you can respond to me.
New Living Translation
Chapter 13
8
Will you slant your testimony in his favor?
Will you argue God’s case for him?
9
What will happen when he finds out what you are doing?
Can you fool him as easily as you fool people?
10
No, you will be in trouble with him
if you secretly slant your testimony in his favor.
11
Doesn’t his majesty terrify you?
Doesn’t your fear of him overwhelm you?
12
Your platitudes are as valuable as ashes.
Your defense is as fragile as a clay pot.
13
'Be silent now and leave me alone.
Let me speak, and I will face the consequences.
14
Why should I put myself in mortal danger
and take my life in my own hands?
15
God might kill me, but I have no other hope.
I am going to argue my case with him.
16
But this is what will save me — I am not godless.
If I were, I could not stand before him.
17
'Listen closely to what I am about to say.
Hear me out.
18
I have prepared my case;
I will be proved innocent.
19
Who can argue with me over this?
And if you prove me wrong, I will remain silent and die.
20
'O God, grant me these two things,
and then I will be able to face you.
21
Remove your heavy hand from me,
and don’t terrify me with your awesome presence.
22
Now summon me, and I will answer!
Or let me speak to you, and you reply.
English Standard Version
Chapter 13
8
Will you show partiality toward him?
Will you plead the case for God?
9
Will it be well with you when he searches you out?
Or can you deceive him, as one deceives a man?
10
He will surely rebuke you
if in secret you show partiality.
11
Will not his majesty terrify you,
and the dread of him fall upon you?
12
Your maxims are proverbs of ashes;
your defenses are defenses of clay.
13
"Let me have silence, and I will speak,
and let come on me what may.
14
Why should I take my flesh in my teeth
and put my life in my hand?
15
Though he slay me, I will hope in him;
yet I will argue my ways to his face.
16
This will be my salvation,
that the godless shall not come before him.
17
Keep listening to my words,
and let my declaration be in your ears.
18
Behold, I have prepared my case;
I know that I shall be in the right.
19
Who is there who will contend with me?
For then I would be silent and die.
20
Only grant me two things,
then I will not hide myself from your face:
21
withdraw your hand far from me,
and let not dread of you terrify me.
22
Then call, and I will answer;
or let me speak, and you reply to me.
New International Version
Chapter 13
8
Will you show him partiality?
Will you argue the case for God?
9
Would it turn out well if he examined you?
Could you deceive him as you might deceive a mortal?
10
He would surely call you to account
if you secretly showed partiality.
11
Would not his splendor terrify you?
Would not the dread of him fall on you?
12
Your maxims are proverbs of ashes;
your defenses are defenses of clay.
13
"Keep silent and let me speak;
then let come to me what may.
14
Why do I put myself in jeopardy
and take my life in my hands?
15
Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him;
I will surely defend my ways to his face.
16
Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance,
for no godless person would dare come before him!
17
Listen carefully to what I say;
let my words ring in your ears.
18
Now that I have prepared my case,
I know I will be vindicated.
19
Can anyone bring charges against me?
If so, I will be silent and die.
20
"Only grant me these two things, God,
and then I will not hide from you:
21
Withdraw your hand far from me,
and stop frightening me with your terrors.
22
Then summon me and I will answer,
or let me speak, and you reply to me.

Will it be well when He searches you out?
Or can you mock Him as one mocks a man?
10
He will surely rebuke you
If you secretly show partiality.
11
Will not His excellence make you afraid,
And the dread of Him fall upon you?

Your platitudes
are
proverbs of ashes,

And put my life in my hands?
15
Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.
Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him.
16
He also
shall
be my salvation,
For a hypocrite 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 vindicated.
19
Who
is
he
who
will contend with me?
If now I hold my tongue, I perish.
20
“Only two
things
do not do to me,
Then I will not hide myself from You:
21
Withdraw Your hand far from me,
And let not the dread of You make me afraid.
22
Then call, and I will answer;
Or let me speak, then You respond to me.
