Job 13:21
19 Can anyone indict me? If so, I will be silent and die.
20 Only grant these two things to me, so that I need not hide from You:
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.
23 How many are my iniquities and sins? Reveal to me my transgression and sin.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
