Job:13:14: Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
Job:13:15: Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
Job:13:16: He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
Job:13:17: Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
Job:13:18: Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
Job:13:19: Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
Job:13:20: Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
Job:13:21: Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
Job:13:22: Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
Job:13:23: How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
Job:13:24: Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
Job:13:25: Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
Job:13:26: For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
Job:13:27: Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
Job:13:28: And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
Chapter 14
Job:14:1: Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
Job:14:2: He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
Job:14:3: And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
Job:14:4: Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
Job:14:5: Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
Job:14:6: Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
Job:14:7: For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
Job:14:8: Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
Job:14:9: Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
Job:14:10: But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
Job:14:11: As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
Job:14:12: So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
Job:14:13: O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
Job:14:14: If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
Job:14:15: Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
Job:14:16: For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
