New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 13
14 Yes, I will take my life in my hands and say what I really think.
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.
23 Tell me, what have I done wrong? Show me my rebellion and my sin.
24 Why do you turn away from me? Why do you treat me as your enemy?
