11 Surely his majesty will frighten youand dread of him fall upon you.
12 Your reminders are ashy maxims,your fabrications mounds of clay.
13 Be silent! Let me alone that I may speak,no matter what happens to me.
14 I will carry my flesh between my teeth,and take my life in my hand.
15 Slay me though he might, I will wait for him;I will defend my conduct before him.
16 This shall be my salvation:no impious man can come into his presence.
17 Pay close attention to my speech,give my statement a hearing.
