17. Hear diligently my speech, And let my declaration be in your ears.
18. Behold now, I have set my cause in order; I know that I am righteous.
19. Who is he that will contend with me? For then would 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 thy 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.
