Job 13:12-14

The Voice

¹² All your quoted proverbs turn to ash;
your clever comebacks crumble like brittle towers of clay.

Job will take his chances before God. He still trusts Him, even if God chooses to take his life.

¹³    So keep your mouths shut around me, and let me speak to God.
        And whatever may come, let it come.
¹⁴    Why should I lay my body at the mercy of the words of my own mouth
        or risk my life with only my own hands to defend me?
