Job

Job 13:25–27

²⁵Would You frighten a windblown leaf?

Would You chase after dry chaff?

²⁶For You record bitter accusations against me

and bequeath to me the iniquities of my youth.

²⁷You put my feet in the stocks

and stand watch over all my paths;

You set a limit

for the soles of my feet.
