Job 13:14 ASV

¹²  Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defences are defences of clay.

¹³  Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak; And let come on me what will.

¹⁴  Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth, And put my life in my hand?

¹⁵  Behold, he will slay me; I have no hope: Nevertheless I will maintain my ways before him.

¹⁶  This also shall be my salvation, That a godless man shall not come before him.
