Job 13:17

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

Listen carefully to my words, and let my declaration be in your ears.

See the chapter Copy

“But now, hear my speech, O Job, and listen to all my words.

“Listen carefully to my words, and let this be your consolation.

Hear now my reasoning, and listen to the pleadings of my lips.

This will be my salvation, that a godless man shall not come before him.

Behold, I have prepared my case; I know that I shall be vindicated.

Oh, that I had one to hear me! (Here is my signature! let the Almighty answer me!) Oh, that I had the indictment written by my adversary!
