10. He will surely rebuke youIf you secretly show partiality.
11. Will not His excellence make you afraid,And the dread of Him fall upon you?
12. Your platitudes are proverbs of ashes,Your defenses are defenses of clay.
13. “Hold your peace with me, and let me speak,Then let come on me what may!
14. Why do I take my flesh in my teeth,And put my life in my hands?
15. Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him.
16. He also shall be my salvation,For a hypocrite could not come before Him.
