Job 13:19 in other translations
Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
Can anyone indict me? If so, I will be silent and die.
Who is he who will contend with me? For then would I hold my peace and give up the spirit.

In context
16 And that will be my salvation, for an evil-doer would not come before him,
17 Give ear with care to my words, and keep what I say in your minds.
18 See now, I have put my cause in order, and I am certain that I will be seen to be right.
19 Is any one able to take up the argument against me? If so, I would keep quiet and give up my breath.
20 Only two things do not do to me, then I will come before your face:
21 Take your hand far away from me; and let me not be overcome by fear of you.
22 Then at the sound of your voice I will give answer; or let me put forward my cause for you to give me an answer.
