    and consider me your enemy?
25 Will you harass a driven leaf?
    Will you pursue the dry stubble?
26 For you write bitter things against me,

27 You also put my feet in the stocks,
    and mark all my paths.
    You set a bound to the soles of my feet,

23 How many[a] are my iniquities and sins?
Make known to me my transgression and my sin.

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.
