15. Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will defend my own ways before him.
16. He also shall be my salvation: for a hypocrite shall not come before him.
17. Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
18. Behold now, I have prepared my case; I know that I shall be justified.
19. Who is he that will contend with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall die.
