See, He finds occasions against me, He counts me as His enemy;
And He kindled His wrath against me, and He counts me as one of His enemies.
For Iyoḇ
Who would give me a hearing? See, my signature, let the Almighty answer me, and let my accuser write a bill!
You have become cruel to me; with the power of Your hand You oppose me.
He has torn in His wrath, and He hates me. He has gnashed at me with His teeth; my adversary sharpens His eyes upon me.
For now You count my steps – do You not watch over my sin?
For He crushes me with a storm, and has multiplied my wounds for no cause.
I shall be afraid of all my sufferings. I know that You do not hold me innocent.
If I am wrong, why should I labour in vain?
