Job 13:20

13:20 Only in two things spare me, ¹  O God, ² 

and then I will not hide from your face:

Job 19:21

19:21 Have pity on me, my friends, have pity on me,

for the hand of God has struck me.

Job 31:24

31:24 “If I have put my confidence in gold

or said to pure gold,

‘You are my security!’

[13:20]  ¹ tn The line reads “do not do two things.”

[13:20]  ² tn “God” is supplied to the verse, for the address is now to him. Job wishes to enter into dispute with God, but he first appeals that God not take advantage of him with his awesome power.
