Job 13:17-28

17Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears. 18Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified. 19Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost. 20Only do not two things to me: then will I not hide myself from thee. 21Withdraw thy hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid. 22Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.

23How many are my iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin. 24Why hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thy enemy? 25Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble? 26For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth. 27Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and observest carefully all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.12 28And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
