17 Hear diligently my speech. Let my declaration be in your ears.
18 See now, I have set my cause in order. I know that I am righteous.
19 Who is he who will contend with me? For then would I hold my peace and give up the spirit.
20 "Only don`t do two things to me; Then I will not hide myself from your face:
21 Withdraw your hand far from me; And don`t let your terror make me afraid.
22 Then call, and I will answer; Or let me speak, and you answer me.
23 How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me know my disobedience and my sin.
