20 Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee. |
21 Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid. |
22 Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me. |
23 How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin. |
24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy? |
25 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble? |
26 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth. |
27 Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet. |
28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten. |
