@Knittinggrace you're doing all the work, yourself. I should cover my face in shame.
Ps 69:6-7: "Let not them that trust in thee, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed for me: let not those that seek thee, be confounded through me, O God of Israel. For thy sake have I suffered reproof: shame hath covered my face."
That is: shame before the ungodly because of Gods sake...
@Knittinggrace and you had mentioned Isaiah before:
Isa 6:2-3: "The Seraphims stood upon it, every one had six wings: with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts: the whole world is full of his glory."
unable to look upon the divine glory and infinite perfections of His being

1Kin 19:12-13: "And after the earthquake came fire: but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire came a still and soft voice. And when Elijah heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering of the cave: and behold..."
"Through reverence of the divine Majesty he perceived was there, and through shame and confusion under a sense of his impurity, imperfections, and unworthiness, as the seraphim in Isa 6:2, and as Moses, Ex 3:6" J.Gill
@Knittinggrace
Not a literal veil, but shame covering ones face (one verse, but there are many more for various reasons):
Jer 51:51: "We are confounded because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces, for strangers are come into the Sanctuaries of the Lord’s house."
