Job 13:15

HopeFaithCourage and strengthSuffering

13 Be silent, and I will speak. Then let come to me what may.

14 Why do I put myself at risk and take my life in my own hands?

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.

17 Listen carefully to my words; let my declaration ring in your ears.
