Job 13:20-28

English Standard Version

²⁰ Only grant me two things,
    then I will not ^(A)hide myself from your face:
^21 (B)withdraw your hand far from me,
    and let not ^(C)dread of you terrify me.
^22 (D)Then call, and I will answer;
    or let me speak, and you reply to me.
²³ How many are my iniquities and my sins?
    ^(E)Make me know my transgression and my sin.
²⁴ Why ^(F)do you hide your face
    and ^(G)count me as your enemy?
²⁵ Will you frighten ^(H)a driven leaf
    and pursue dry ^(I)chaff?
²⁶ For you ^(J)write bitter things against me
    and make me inherit ^(K)the iniquities of my youth.
²⁷ You put my feet in ^(L)the stocks
    and ^(M)watch all my paths;
    you set a limit for^[a] the soles of my feet.
²⁸ Man^[b] wastes away like ^(N)a rotten thing,
    like a garment that is ^(O)moth-eaten.
