Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.

Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?

Oh that I were as {in} months past, as {in} the days {when} God preserved me;

Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, {so is} thy wrath.

Only do not two {things} unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.

Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand. {blow: Heb. conflict}

Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
