18 Behold now, I am also pleading my cause; and I know that I am innocent. 19 Who is he that will contend with me? For now I will keep silent and be at rest. 20 Only two things do not let depart from me; then I will not turn aside from thee: 21 Do not withdraw thy help from me; and let not thy dread terrify me. 22 Then call thou me, and I will answer; or let me speak, and answer thou me. 23 How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgressions and my sins. 24 Wherefore dost thou hide thy face from me, and considerest me as thine enemy? 25 Wilt thou tread upon a fallen leaf? And wilt thou pursue the dry grass in the air? 26 For thou decreest chastisement against me, and makest me remember the iniquities of my youth; 27 Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and watchest all my ways; thou seest the imprints of my feet. 28 Yet a man is like a worn-out waterskin, and a garment that is moth-eaten.
