15. Though he slay me, yet will I wait for him: nevertheless I will maintain my ways before him.
16. This also shall be my salvation; for a godless man shall not come before him.
17. Hear diligently my speech, and let my declaration be in your ears.
18. Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I am righteous.
19. Who is he that will contend with me? for now shall I hold my peace and give up the ghost.
20. Only do not two things unto me, then will I not hide myself from thy face:
21. Withdraw thine hand far from me; and let not thy terror make me afraid.
22. Then call thou, and I will answer; or let me speak, and answer thou me.
23. How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
24. Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
25. Wilt thou harass a driven leaf? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
26. For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to inherit the iniquities of my youth:
27. Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and markest all my paths; thou drawest thee a line about the soles of my feet:
28. Though I am like a rotten thing that consumeth, like a garment that is moth-eaten.
