Job 13:20-22

The Voice

²⁰     Lord, I ask only two concessions in this case;
        if You grant them, I will not hide from Your face.
²¹     First, remove Your damaging hand from me;
        second don’t intimidate me anymore with your terrifying presence.
²²     Then send me Your summons, and I will reply,
        or better yet, I will speak first and then You answer me.
