Job 13:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹²Your ·wise sayings [^Lproclamations] are ·worth no more than ashes [^Lare made of dust],
and your ·arguments [responses] are ·as weak as [^Lmade of] clay.

¹³“Be quiet and let me speak.
Let things happen to me as they will.
¹⁴·Why should I [or I will…] ·put myself in danger [^Ltake my flesh in my teeth; ^Ca metaphor for risk-taking]
and take my life in my own ·hands [^Lpalm]?
