Job 13:13

New International Reader's Version

“So be quiet and let me speak. Then I won’t care what happens to me.

See the chapter Copy

“I’m sick of living. So I’ll talk openly about my problems. I’ll speak out because my spirit is bitter.

Your sayings are as useless as ashes. The answers you give are as weak as clay.

I wish you would keep your mouths shut! Then people would think you were wise.

Put up with me while I speak. After I’ve spoken, you can make fun of me!

“So I won’t keep quiet. When I’m suffering greatly, I’ll speak out. When my spirit is bitter, I’ll tell you how unhappy I am.
