Berean Standard Bible

Should He be told that I want to speak? Would a man ask to be swallowed up ?

Or speak without being swallowed up

Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.

Will it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?

19 Teach us what we should say to Him; we cannot draw up our case when our faces are in darkness.
