Job 13:3-22

New American Standard Bible

Chapter 13

3'But I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to argue with God. 4But you smear me with lies; You are all worthless physicians. 5Oh that you would be completely silent, And that it would become your wisdom! 6Please hear my argument, And give your attention to the contentions of my lips. 7Will you speak what is unjust for God, And speak what is deceitful for Him? 8Will 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? 10He will certainly punish you If you secretly show partiality. 11Will His majesty not terrify you, And the dread of Him fall upon you? 12Your 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. 14Why should I take my flesh in my teeth, And put my life in my hands? 15Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. Nevertheless I will argue my ways before Him. 16This also will be my salvation, For a godless person cannot come before His presence. 17Listen carefully to my speech, And let my declaration fill your ears. 18Behold now, I have prepared my case; I know that I will be vindicated. 19Who 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: 21Remove Your hand from me, And may the dread of You not terrify me. 22Then call and I will answer; Or let me speak, then reply to me.
