14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth? And my soul put  in my hand?
         
                                
                        15 Lo, He doth slay me -- I wait not! Only, my ways unto His  face I argue.
         
                                
                        16 Also -- He [is] to me for salvation, For the profane  cometh not before Him.
         
                                
                        17 Hear ye diligently my word, And my declaration with your  ears.
         
                                
                        18 Lo, I pray you, I have set in order the cause, I have  known that I am righteous.
         
                                
                        19 Who [is] he that doth strive with me? For now I keep  silent and gasp.
         
                                
                        20 Only two things, O God, do with me: Then from Thy face I  am not hidden.
