Job 13 (summary): Job continues

Here Job continues to stand up to his friends who are no more the owner of truth than he is. Job calls his friends "worthless physicians" and tells them that they should not put words into God's mouth. For his friends' maxims are ashes and their defences are clay. Job insists that he wants to speak to God. For his faith in God is steadfast and he says "Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him". And Job insists that once he can present his case to God he will be vindicated. Job asks God what he has done wrong and what sins he has committed? He also suggests that his friends would be wiser to keep quiet!
