12 Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ash; your defenses are made of clay.
13 Be quiet, and I will speak.Let whatever comes happen to me.
14 Why do I put myself at risk and take my life in my own hands?
15 Even if He kills me, I will hope in Him. I will still defend my ways before Him.
16 Yes, this will result in my deliverance,for no godless person can appear before Him.
17 Pay close attention to my words;let my declaration ring in your ears.
18 Now then, I have prepared my case; I know that I am right.
