Job 13:18-28 ▼

18 “Behold now, I have prepared my case; I know that I will be vindicated.

19 “Who will contend with me? For then I would be silent and die.

20 “Only two things do not do to me, Then I will not hide from Thy face:

21 Remove Thy hand from me, And let not the dread of Thee terrify me.

22 “Then call, and I will answer; Or let me speak, then reply to me.

23 “How many are my iniquities and sins? Make known to me my rebellion and my sin.

24 “Why dost Thou hide Thy face, And consider me Thine enemy?

25 “Wilt Thou cause a driven leaf to tremble? Or wilt Thou pursue the dry chaff?

26 “For Thou dost write bitter things against me, And dost make me to inherit the iniquities of my youth.

27 “Thou dost put my feet in the stocks, And dost watch all my paths; Thou dost set a limit for the soles of my feet,

28 While I am decaying like a rotten thing, Like a garment that is moth-eaten.
