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 Voici, j'ai préparé ma cause. Je sais que je serai justifié.

19 Quelqu'un plaidera-t-il contre moi? Alors je me tais, et je meurs.

20 Seulement, ne me fais point deux choses, et alors je ne me cacherai pas loin de ta face:

21 Éloigne ta main de moi, et que ta terreur ne me trouble point.

22 Puis, appelle-moi et je répondrai. Ou bien, que je parle, et tu me répliqueras.
