American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak;And let come on me what will.
{Or, At all adventures I will take &c.}Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth,And put my life in my hand?
{Or, Though he slay me, yet will I wait for him}Behold, he will slay me; I have no hope:Nevertheless I will {Hebrew: argue.}maintain my ways before him.
This also shall be my salvation,That a godless man shall not come before him.
Hear diligently my speech,And let my declaration be in your ears.
Behold now, I have set my cause in order;I know that I {Or, shall be justified}am righteous.
Who is he that will contend with me?For then {Or, if I hold my peace, I shall give up &c.}would I hold my peace and give up the ghost.
