Job 13:13

The Scriptures 1998

Be silent before me, and let me speak, and let whatever come upon me!

See the chapter Copy

“My being has grown weary of life. I let loose my complaint, I speak in the bitterness of my being.

Your weighty sayings are proverbs of ashes, your shields are shields of clay.

If you would only be silent, then it would be your wisdom!

Bear with me and let me speak, and after I have spoken, keep mocking.

I also, I do not hold my mouth, I speak in the distress of my spirit, I complain in the bitterness of my being.
