A Direct Appeal to God

Job 13:20-28

But doe not these two things vnto me: then will I not hide my selfe from thee.

Withdrawe thine hande from me, and let not thy feare make me afraide.

Then call thou, and I will answere: or let me speake, and answere thou me.

Howe many are mine iniquities and sinnes? shewe me my rebellion, and my sinne.

Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and takest me for thine enemie?

Wilt thou breake a leafe driuen to and from? and wilt thou pursue the drie stubble?

For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possesse the iniquities of my youth.

Thou puttest my feete also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly vnto all my pathes, and makest the print thereof in ye heeles of my feet.

Such one consumeth like a rotten thing, and as a garment that is motheaten.
