Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.

Verse 19 is found in chapter 13 of Job. Job expresses his determination to appear before God even if doing so involves risk. He wants to present his case directly and states that he does not wish to hide it. Job’s confidence appears here in a paradoxical form: he dares to confront God verbally because he believes that only before God can his situation ultimately be resolved.

Wer ist, der mit mir rechten könnte? Denn dann wollte ich schweigen und verscheiden.
¿Quién es el que pleiteará conmigo? Porque si ahora yo callara, fenecería.
Quelqu'un disputera-t-il contre moi? Alors je me tais, et je veux mourir.
Chi è colui che voglia litigar meco? Conciossiachè di presente mi tacerò, e spirerò.
Quem é o que contenderá comigo? Se eu agora me calasse, renderia o espírito.
還有誰要和我爭辯, 我現在就緘默不言,氣絕而死。
