Job 13 — Context

Listen carefully to my words; let your ears be attentive to my explanation.

See now, I have prepared my case; I know that I am right.

Who will contend with me? If anyone can, I will be silent and die.

Only in two things spare me, O God, and then I will not hide from your face:

Remove your hand far from me and stop making me afraid with your terror.

Then call, and I will answer, or I will speak, and you respond to me.

How many are my iniquities and sins? Show me my transgression and my sin.
