Job 13:17-28

17Listen carefully to my words; let your ears be attentive to my explanation.

18See now, I have prepared my case; I know that I am right.

19Who will contend with me? If anyone can, I will be silent and die.

20Only in two things spare me, O God, and then I will not hide from your face:

21Remove your hand far from me and stop making me afraid with your terror.

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

23How many are my iniquities and sins? Show me my transgression and my sin.

24Why do you hide your face and regard me as your enemy?

25Do you wish to torment a windblown leaf and chase after dry chaff?

26For you write down bitter things against me and cause me to inherit the sins of my youth.

27And you put my feet in the stocks and you watch all my movements; you put marks on the soles of my feet.

28So I waste away like something rotten, like a garment eaten by moths.
