Job 13:20
18 Behold, now that I have prepared my case, I know that I will be vindicated.
19 Can anyone indict me? If so, I will be silent and die.
Only grant these two things to me, so that I need not hide from You:
21 Withdraw Your hand from me, and do not let Your terror frighten me.
22 Then call me, and I will answer, or let me speak, and You can reply.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
