Job 13:15 · “Though You Slay Me” · Shane & Shane

NOT A QUOTE “Though You Slay Me” Shane & Shane Job 13:15 Sing it as a sufferer's vow shaped by Job, not as Job's verse. Know two things: the famous line follows one of two ancient Hebrew readings, and Job's own next words argue his case rather than end the argument.

✓ It never says it is quoting, anywhere in the lyric: the borrowing is announced by the title's echo, and the writers have pointed to Job 13:15 openly in interviews rather than presenting the words as the verse

⚠ The verse's second half is not sung. Job trusts and then defends his ways to God's face, and the book lets both stand. A singer who knows only the chorus gets a Job who worships and never argues
