American Standard Version
"Wilt thou harass a driven leaf? And wilt thou pursue the dry stubble? "
— Job 13:25, American Standard Version
“Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?”
“Will you harass a driven leaf? Will you pursue the dry stubble?”
“Do you wish to torment a windblown leaf and chase after dry chaff?”
“Against a leaf, that is carried away with the wind, thou shewest thy power, and thou pursuest a dry straw.”
“Will you be hard on a leaf in flight before the wind? will you make a dry stem go more quickly on its way?”
“Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?”
Then call thou, and I will answer; Or let me speak, and answer thou me.
How many are mine iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And holdest me for thine enemy?
Wilt thou harass a driven leaf? And wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
For thou writest bitter things against me, And makest me to inherit the iniquities of my youth:
Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, And markest all my paths; Thou settest a bound to the soles of my feet:
Though I am like a rotten thing that consumeth, Like a garment that is moth-eaten.
