11. Will not His excellence make you afraid,and the dread of Him fall upon you?
12. Your reminders are parables made of ashes;your answers are answers made of clay.
13. “Hold your peace; leave me alone, that I may speak,and let come on me what may!
14. Why do I take my flesh in my teethand put my life in my hand?
15. Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him,but I will defend my own ways before Him.
16. He also will be my salvation,for a hypocrite could not come before Him.
17. Listen carefully to my speech,and to my declaration with your ears.
18. See now, I have prepared my case;I know that I will be justified.
19. Who is he who will plead with me?For now, if I hold my tongue, I will give up my breath.
