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

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.

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

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

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!

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