14. Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand?
15. Behold, if he slay me, yet would I trust in him; but I will defend mine own ways before him.
16. This also shall be my salvation, that a profane man shall not come before his face.
17. Hear attentively my speech and my declaration with your ears.
18. Behold now, I have ordered the cause; I know that I shall be justified.
19. Who is he that contendeth with me? For if I were silent now, I should expire.
