Job 13:23-27
English Standard Version
23 How many are my iniquities and my sins?
(A)Make me know my transgression and my sin.
24 Why (B)do you hide your face
and (C)count me as your enemy?
25 Will you frighten (D)a driven leaf
and pursue dry (E)chaff?
26 For you (F)write bitter things against me
and make me inherit (G)the iniquities of my youth.
27 You put my feet in (H)the stocks
and (I)watch all my paths;
you set a limit for[a] the soles of my feet.

Job 13:23-27
International Standard Version
Job Presents Himself for Cross-Examination
23 “How many of my iniquities and sins have you counted?
Show me my transgression and sin.
24 Why do you hide your face
and regard me as your enemy?
25 Are you a god who would make a leaf tremble
or who would prosecute a dry straw?
26 You’ve accused me of bitter things;
you’ve caused me to reap[a] the sins of my youth.
27 You’ve locked my feet in stocks;
you watch all my steps;
You’ve limited where I can walk.[b]
