Behold, He finds occasions against me, He counts me for His enemy;
He has also kindled His wrath against me, and He counts me as one of His enemies.
“For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, but God has taken away my judgment.
“Oh, that one would hear me! Behold, my desire is that the Almighty would answer me, and that the One who contends against me had written a book!
You have become cruel to me; with Your strong hand You oppose me.
He has torn me in His wrath, and He has carried a grudge against me. He has gnashed me with His teeth; my enemy sharpens His gaze upon me.
For now You number my steps; do You not observe my sin?
For He crushes me with a storm and multiplies my wounds without cause.
I am afraid of all my sorrows; I know that You will not hold me innocent.
If I am guilty, why then do I labor in vain?
