6. 6Listen now to my reasoning, and pay attention to the pleadings of my lips.
7. 7Will you speak wickedly for God? And talk deceitfully for him?
8. 8Will you show partiality toward him? Will you contend for God?

10. 10He will surely reprove you if you secretly show partiality.
11. 11Will not his excellency make you afraid? And his dread fall upon you?
12. 12Your remembrances are like ashes; your bodies are bodies of clay.

19. 19Who is he that will plead with me? For now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
20. 20Only do not do two things to me, and then I will not hide myself from you.
21. 21Remove your hand far from me, and do not let your dread make me afraid.
22. 22Then call, and I will answer — or let me speak, and you answer me.
23. 23How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.
24. 24Why do you hide your face and hold me for your enemy?
25. 25Will you break a leaf driven to and fro? And will you pursue dry stubble?
26. 26For you write bitter things against me and make me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
27. 27You put my feet also in the stocks and watch closely all my paths; you set a mark upon the heels of my feet.
28. 28And he decays like something rotten, like a garment eaten by moths.
