Job 13:17-21

“Listen carefully to my speech, And let my declaration fill your ears.

“Behold now, I have prepared my case; I know that I will be vindicated.

“Who could contend with me? For then I would be silent and die.

“Only two things I ask that You do not do to me, Then I will not hide from Your face:

Remove Your hand from me, And may the dread of You not terrify me.
