New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Job 13
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 on 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 man may not 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 will contend with me? For then I would be silent and die.
20 "Only two things do not do to me, Then I will not hide from Your face:
21 Remove Your hand from me, And let not the dread of You terrify me.
22 "Then call, and I will answer; Or let me speak, then reply to me.
