9. Would it be good for him to search you out? As one man mocks another, do ye so mock him?
10. He will reprove you severely, if in secret you give him such honour.
11. Certainly his excellency should make you afraid, and his dread should fall upon you.
12. Your memories shall be compared unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
13. Listen to me, and I will speak, and afterward let come on me what will.
14. Why shall I take my flesh in my teeth and put my life in the palm of my hand?
15. Though he slay me, yet I will trust in him; but I will defend my ways before him.
16. He also shall be my saving health; for the hypocrite shall not enter into his presence.
17. Hear diligently my reason and my declaration with your ears.
18. Behold now, if I draw near unto the judgment; I know that I shall be justified.
19. Who is he that will contend with me? For now, if I remain silent, I shall die.
20. At the least, grant me these two things; then I will not hide myself from thee:
21. withdraw thy hand from me; and let not thy dread make me afraid.
22. Then call, and I will answer; or let me speak, and answer thou me.
