Job 13:24 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 13:24

22 Then call, and I will ^aanswer;
Or let me speak, then You respond to me.

23 How many are my iniquities and sins?
Make me know my transgression and my sin.

24 ^aWhy do You hide Your face,
And ^bregard me as Your enemy?

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.
