Job Argues His Case With God

Job 13:20-28

[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.
