Holy Scripture
Job 13:20
A church father on this verse
“The lack of clarity in the text could be explained in the following way. Job says, "If you want to treat me as the friends say, as if you wanted to show my wickedness, I will hide from your face." But if I am right, then "withdraw your hand far from me, and do not let your dread terrify me!" Every sinner hides from Go…”
