Job 13:20 Meaning and Commentary

Job 13:20

Only do not two [things] unto me
This is an address not to Zophar as in the place of God, as to me, but to God himself; by this it appears, that though in modesty he does not mention him, yet he it is he has the chief, if not the sole regard unto in ( Job 13:19 ) ; for his desire was to speak to the Almighty, and reason with God, and have nothing more to do with his friends, ( Job 13:3-5 ) ; but before any pleadings begin on either side, he is desirous of settling and fixing the terms and conditions of the dispute; he requests that two things might be granted him, which are mentioned in ( Job 13:21 ) :

then will I not hide myself from thee;
through fear or shame, but boldly appear before God, and come up even to his seat, and plead with him face to face.

Job 13:20 In-Context

18 He preparado mi defensa;
seré declarado inocente.

19 ¿Quién puede discutir conmigo sobre esto?
Y si demuestran que estoy equivocado, me quedaré callado y moriré.

20 Job pregunta cómo pecó
»Oh, Dios, concédeme estas dos cosas
y entonces podré enfrentarme contigo:

y no me atemorices con tu temible presencia.

O deja que te hable y contéstame tú.
