Job 13:11-21

The Message Bible MSG

New International Version NIV

11 Doesn't his splendor put you in awe? Aren't you afraid to speak cheap lies before him?

11 Would not his splendor terrify you? Would not the dread of him fall on you?

12 Your wise sayings are knickknack wisdom, good for nothing but gathering dust.

12 Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay.

13 "So hold your tongue while I have my say, then I'll take whatever I have coming to me.

13 “Keep silent and let me speak; then let come to me what may.

14 Why do I go out on a limb like this and take my life in my hands?

14 Why do I put myself in jeopardy and take my life in my hands?

15 Because even if he killed me, I'd keep on hoping. I'd defend my innocence to the very end.

15 Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face.

16 Just wait, this is going to work out for the best - my salvation! If I were guilt-stricken do you think I'd be doing this - laying myself on the line before God?

16 Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance, for no godless person would dare come before him!

17 You'd better pay attention to what I'm telling you, listen carefully with both ears.

17 Listen carefully to what I say; let my words ring in your ears.

18 Now that I've laid out my defense, I'm sure that I'll be acquitted.

18 Now that I have prepared my case, I know I will be vindicated.

19 Can anyone prove charges against me? I've said my piece. I rest my case. Why Does God Stay Hidden and Silent?

19 Can anyone bring charges against me? If so, I will be silent and die.

20 "Please, God, I have two requests; grant them so I'll know I count with you:

20 “Only grant me these two things, God, and then I will not hide from you:

21 First, lay off the afflictions; the terror is too much for me.

21 Withdraw your hand far from me, and stop frightening me with your terrors.
