13. “Be silent, leave me alone, that I may speak.Let come on me what will.
14. Why should I take my flesh in my teeth,and put my life in my hand?
15. Behold, he will kill me.I have no hope.Nevertheless, I will maintain my ways before him.
16. This also shall be my salvation,that a godless man shall not come before him.
17. Hear diligently my speech.Let my declaration be in your ears.
18. See now, I have set my cause in order.I know that I am righteous.
19. Who is he who will contend with me?For then would I hold my peace and give up the spirit.
20. “Only don’t do two things to me;then I will not hide myself from your face:
21. withdraw your hand far from me;and don’t let your terror make me afraid.
22. Then call, and I will answer;or let me speak, and you answer me.
