New Testament

Job 13:13-21 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

13. "So be quiet and let me speak. Then I won't care what happens to me.

14. Why do I put myself in danger? Why do I take my life in my hands?

15. Even if God kills me, I'll still put my hope in him. I'll argue my case in front of him.

16. No matter how things turn out, I'm sure I'll still be saved. After all, no ungodly person would dare to come into his court.

17. Listen carefully to what I'm saying. Pay close attention to my words.

18. I've prepared my case. And I know I'll be proved right.

19. Can others bring charges against me? If they can, I'll keep quiet and die.

20. "God, I won't hide from you. Here are the only two things I want.

21. Keep your powerful hand far away from me. And stop making me so afraid.
