Job’s Despondent Prayer

20 “Only grant two things to me;
    then I will not hide myself from your face:
21 withdraw your hand far from me,
    and do not let dread of you terrify me.(A)
22 Then call, and I will answer;
    or let me speak, and you reply to me.(B)

20 Just do two things for me, God.
If you do, I will not hide from your face.
21 Take your hands off me,
and do not terrify me with your grandeur.[a]
22 Summon me, and I will answer.
Or, I will speak, and you can respond to me.
