Job 13:17-28 - Job Speaks To God
17 "Listen carefully [to] my words, and [let] my exposition [be] in your ears. 18 Please look, I have prepared [my] case; I know that I myself will be vindicated. 19 Who [is] he who will contend with me? For {then} I would be silent, and I would pass away.
20 "Only you must not do [these] two [things] to me; then I will not hide from your face: 21 withdraw your hand from me, and let not your dread terrify me. 22 Then call, and I myself will answer; or let me speak, then reply to me. 23 "{How many} [are] my iniquities and sins? Make known to me my transgression and my sin. 24 Why do you hide your face and count me as your enemy? 25 Will you terrify a blown leaf? And will you pursue dry stubble? 26 "Indeed, you write bitter things against me, and you make me reap the iniquities of my childhood. 27 And you put my feet in the block, and you watch all my paths; you carve [a mark] on the soles of my feet.
28 And he himself wastes away like something rotten, like a garment that [the] moth has eaten.
