13:18 See now, I have set
my cause in order ; I know that I shall be justified.
13:19 Who is he that will struggle with me? for now, I hold my tongue, and die.
13:20 Only don’t two things to me: then will I not hide myself from Your face.
13:21 Withdraw Your hand far from me: and don’t let Your terror make me afraid.
13:22 Then call, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer you me.
13:23 How many [are] my wickedness and sins? Make me to know my transgressions and my sin.
13:24 Why do You
hide Your face, and count me for Your enemy?
13:25 Will You terrify a leaf driven to and fro? and will You pursue the dry stubble?
13:26 For You write bitter things against me, and make me inherit the sins of my youth.
13:27 You
also put my feet in the stocks, and watch all my paths; you set a limit on the soles of my feet.
13:28 And he wears out like a rotten thing, like a garment that is moth eaten
