Job 13:26
Compare all
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. 
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.

Job 13:26

writest—a judicial phrase, to note down the determined punishment. The sentence of the condemned used to be written down (Isaiah 10:1; Jeremiah 22:30; Psalms 149:9) [UMBREIT].

bitter things—bitter punishments.

makest me to possess—or "inherit." In old age he receives possession of the inheritance of sin thoughtlessly acquired in youth. "To inherit sins" is to inherit the punishments inseparably connected with them in Hebrew ideas (Psalms 25:7).
