Job 13:20-28 - Job Argues His Case With God

²⁰ Only grant these two things to me, God,
so that I will not have to hide from Your presence:
²¹ remove Your hand from me,
and do not let Your terror frighten me.
²² Then call, and I will answer,
or I will speak, and You can respond to me.
²³ How many iniquities and sins have I committed?
Reveal to me my transgression and sin.
²⁴ Why do You hide Your face
and consider me Your enemy?
²⁵ Will You frighten a wind-driven leaf?
Will You chase after dry straw?
²⁶ For You record bitter accusations against me
and make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.
²⁷ You put my feet in the stocks
and stand watch over all my paths,
setting a limit for the soles of my feet.
