Job 13:16-28
-
16 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
-
17 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
-
18 Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
-
19 Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
-
20 Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
-
21 Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
-
22 Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
-
23 How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
-
24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
-
25 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
-
26 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
-
27 Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
-
28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
