18I have indeed prepared my case; I know that I shall be vindicated.19Who is there that will contend with me? For then I would be silent and die.Job's Despondent Prayer 20Only grant two things to me, then I will not hide myself from your face:21withdraw your hand far from me, and do not let dread of you terrify me.22Then call, and I will answer; or let me speak, and you reply to me.23How many are my iniquities and my sins? Make me know my transgression and my sin.
