Job 13:17-28

17Pay close attention to my words; let my declaration ring in your ears.

18Now then, I have prepared my case; I know that I am right.

19Can anyone indict me? If so, I will be silent and die.

20Only grant these two things to me, God, so that I will not have to hide from your presence:

21remove your hand from me, and do not let your terror frighten me.

22Then call, and I will answer, or I will speak, and you can respond to me.

23How many iniquities and sins have I committed? Reveal to me my transgression and sin.

24Why do you hide your face and consider me your enemy?

25Will you frighten a wind-driven leaf? Will you chase after dry straw?

26For you record bitter accusations against me and make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.

27You put my feet in the stocks and stand watch over all my paths, setting a limit for the soles of my feet.

28A person wears out like something rotten, like a moth-eaten garment.
