Job 13:20-28

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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