Job 13:13-23

13 "Be quiet and let me speak. Let things happen to me as they will.
14 Why should I put myself in danger and take my life in my own hands?
15 Even if God kills me, I have hope in him; I will still defend my ways to his face.
16 This is my salvation. The wicked cannot come before him.
17 Listen carefully to my words; let your ears hear what I say.
18 See, I have prepared my case, and I know I will be proved right.
19 No one can accuse me of doing wrong. If someone can, I will be quiet and die.
20 "God, please just give me these two things, and then I will not hide from you:
21 Take your punishment away from me, and stop frightening me with your terrors.
22 Then call me, and I will answer, or let me speak, and you answer.
23 How many evil things and sins have I done? Show me my wrong and my sin.
