13. Hold your peace a little while, that I may speak whatsoever my mind shall suggest to me.
14. Why do I tear my flesh with my teeth, and carry my soul in my hands?
15. Although he should bill me, I will trust in him: but yet I will reprove my ways in his sight.
16. And he shall be my saviour: for no hypocrite shall come before his presence.
17. Hear ye my speech, and receive with Sour ears hidden truths.
18. If I shall be judged, I know that I shall be found just.
19. Who is he that will plead against me? let him come: why am I consumed holding my peace?
20. Two things only do not to me, and then from thy face I shall not be hid:
21. Withdraw thy hand far from me, and let not thy dread terrify me.
22. Call me, and I will answer thee: or else I will speak, and do thou answer me.
23. How many are my iniquities and sins? make me know my crimes and offences.
24. Why hidest thou thy face, and thinkest me thy enemy?
25. Against a leaf, that is carried away with the wind, thou shewest thy power, and thou pursuest a dry straw.
26. For thou writest bitter things against me, and wilt consume me for the sins of my youth.
