Job 13:27

Compare all

25 ^aWill You frighten a leaf driven to and fro?
And will You pursue dry stubble?

26 For You write bitter things against me,
And ^amake me inherit the iniquities of my youth.

27 ^aYou¹ put my feet in the stocks,
And watch closely all my paths.
You set a limit for the² soles of my feet.

28 “Man¹ decays like a rotten thing,
Like a garment that is moth-eaten.

lookest narrowly—as an overseer would watch a prisoner.

print—Either the stocks, or his disease, marked his soles (Hebrew, "roots") as the bastinado would. Better, thou drawest (or diggest) [GESENIUS] a line (or trench) [GESENIUS] round my soles, beyond which I must not move [UMBREIT].
