14. Why do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand?
15. Though he shall slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain my own ways before him.
16. He also shall be my salvation: for a hypocrite shall not come before him.
17. Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
18. Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
19. Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall expire.
20. Only do not two things to me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
21. Withdraw thy hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
22. Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
23. How many are my iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
