Don’t be afraid of me; I will not be hard on you.
Take your punishment away from me, and stop frightening me with your terrors.
“But I heard what you have said; I heard every word.
“God is not human like me, so I cannot answer him. We cannot meet each other in court.
Maybe he could remove God’s punishment so his terror would no longer frighten me.
Day and night you punished me. My strength was gone as in the summer heat.Selah
You have been angry with me, and your terrors have destroyed me.
