Job 13:20-28

Job 13:20-28 NCV

“God, please just give me these two things, and then I will not hide from you: Take your punishment away from me, and stop frightening me with your terrors. Then call me, and I will answer, or let me speak, and you answer. How many evil things and sins have I done? Show me my wrong and my sin. Don’t hide your face from me; don’t think of me as your enemy. Don’t punish a leaf that is blown by the wind; don’t chase after straw. You write down cruel things against me and make me suffer for my boyhood sins. You put my feet in chains and keep close watch wherever I go. You even mark the soles of my feet. “Everyone wears out like something rotten, like clothing eaten by moths.
