Job 13:16-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 13
16This also will be my salvation, For a godless person cannot come before His presence. 17Listen carefully to my speech, And let my declaration fill your ears. 18Behold now, I have prepared my case; I know that I will be vindicated. 19Who could contend with me? For then I would be silent and die. 20'Only two things I ask that You do not do to me, Then I will not hide from Your face: 21Remove Your hand from me, And may the dread of You not terrify me. 22Then call and I will answer; Or let me speak, then reply to me. 23How many are my guilty deeds and sins? Make known to me my wrongdoing and my sin.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 13
16Yes, this will result in my deliverance, for no godless person can appear before him. 17Pay close attention to my words; let my declaration ring in your ears. 18Now then, I have prepared my case; I know that I am right.
19Can anyone indict me? If so, I will be silent and die.
20Only grant these two things to me, God, so that I will not have to hide from your presence:
21remove your hand from me, and do not let your terror frighten me.
22Then call, and I will answer, or I will speak, and you can respond to me.
23How many iniquities and sins have I committed? Reveal to me my transgression and sin.

Chapter 13
16But this is what will save me — I am not godless. If I were, I could not stand before him.English Standard Version
Chapter 13
16This will be my salvation, that the godless shall not come before him. 17 Keep listening to my words, and let my declaration be in your ears. 18Behold, I have prepared my case; I know that I shall be in the right. 19 Who is there who will contend with me? For then I would be silent and die. 20Only grant me two things, then I will not hide myself from your face: 21 withdraw your hand far from me, and let not dread of you terrify me. 22 Then call, and I will answer; or let me speak, and you reply to me. 23How many are my iniquities and my sins? Make me know my transgression and my sin.New International Version
Chapter 13
16Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance, for no godless person would dare come before him! 17Listen carefully to what I say; let my words ring in your ears. 18Now that I have prepared my case, I know I will be vindicated.
19Can anyone bring charges against me? If so, I will be silent and die.
20"Only grant me these two things, God, and then I will not hide from you:
21Withdraw your hand far from me, and stop frightening me with your terrors.
22Then summon me and I will answer, or let me speak, and you reply to me.
23How many wrongs and sins have I committed? Show me my offense and my sin.
