Job 13:21-28

21 Take your punishment away from me, and stop frightening me with your terrors.
22 Then call me, and I will answer, or let me speak, and you answer.
23 How many evil things and sins have I done? Show me my wrong and my sin.
24 Don't hide your face from me; don't think of me as your enemy.
25 Don't punish a leaf that is blown by the wind; don't chase after straw.
26 You write down cruel things against me and make me suffer for my boyhood sins.
27 You put my feet in chains and keep close watch wherever I go. You even mark the soles of my feet.
28 "Everyone wears out like something rotten, like clothing eaten by moths.
