13 Hold your peace, H2790 let me alone, that I may speak, H1696 and let come H5674 on me what will.

O that H5414 ye would altogether H2790 hold your peace! H2790 and it should be your wisdom. H2451
Even that it would please H2974 God H433 to destroy H1792 me; that he would let loose H5425 his hand, H3027 and cut me off! H1214 Then should I yet have comfort; H5165 yea, I would harden H5539 myself in sorrow: H2427 let him not spare; H2550 for I have not concealed H3582 the words H561 of the Holy One. H6918
