Job 13:17
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.
Listen carefully to my words; let my declaration ring in your ears.
18 Behold, now that I have prepared my case, I know that I will be vindicated.
19 Can anyone indict me? If so, I will be silent and die.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
