Job 13:14
12 Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay.
13 Be silent, and I will speak. Then let come to me what may.
Why do I put myself at risk and take my life in my own hands?
15 Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. I will still defend my ways to His face.
16 Moreover, this will be my salvation, for no godless man can appear before Him.
