Job 13:20-28

¶“Only [O Lord,] do not do two things to me, And then I will not hide myself from Your face: Withdraw Your hand from me and remove this bodily suffering, And let not the dread of You terrify me. “Then [Lord,] call, and I will answer; Or let me speak, and then reply to me. “How many are my iniquities and sins [that so much sorrow should come to me]? Make me recognize and understand my transgression and my sin. [Rom 8:1] “Why do You hide Your face [as if offended] And consider me Your enemy? “Will You cause a windblown leaf to tremble? Will You pursue the chaff of the dry stubble? “For You write bitter things against me [in Your indictment] And make me inherit and suffer for the iniquities of my youth. “You also put my feet in the stocks [as punishment] And [critically] observe all my paths; You set a circle and limit around the soles of my feet [which I must not overstep], While I waste away like a rotten thing, Like a garment that is moth-eaten.
