Strongs On/Off
Context
13:21 Remove your hand far from me and stop making me afraid with your terror .
13:22 Then call , and I will answer , or I will speak , and you respond to me.
13:23 How many are my iniquities and sins ? Show me my transgression and my sin .
13:24 Why do you hide your face and regard me as your enemy ?
13:25 Do you wish to torment a windblown leaf and chase after dry chaff ?
13:26 For you write down bitter things against me and cause me to inherit the sins of my youth .
13:27 And you put my feet in the stocks and you watch all my movements ; you put marks on the soles of my feet .
13:28 So I waste away like something rotten , like a garment eaten by moths .
