11. Doth not His excellency terrify you? And His dread fall upon you?
12. Your remembrances [are] similes of ashes, For high places of clay your heights.
13. Keep silent from me, and I speak, And pass over me doth what?
14. Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth? And my soul put in my hand?
15. Lo, He doth slay me--I wait not! Only, my ways unto His face I argue.
16. Also--He [is] to me for salvation, For the profane cometh not before Him.
17. Hear ye diligently my word, And my declaration with your ears.
18. Lo, I pray you, I have set in order the cause, I have known that I am righteous.
19. Who [is] he that doth strive with me? For now I keep silent and gasp.
20. Only two things, O God, do with me: Then from Thy face I am not hidden.
21. Thy hand put far off from me, And Thy terror let not terrify me.
22. And call Thou, and I--I answer, Or--I speak, and answer Thou me.
23. How many iniquities and sins have I? My transgression and my sin let me know.
