"Will you harass a driven leaf? Will you pursue the dry stubble?"
— Job 13:25, World English Bible
“Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?”
“Wilt thou harass a driven leaf? And wilt thou 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, and I will answer; or let me speak, and you answer me.
How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me know my disobedience and my sin.
Why hide you your face, and hold me for your enemy?
Will you harass a driven leaf? Will you pursue the dry stubble?
For you write bitter things against me, and make me inherit the iniquities of my youth:
You also put my feet in the stocks, and mark all my paths. You set a bound to the soles of my feet,
though I am decaying like a rotten thing, like a garment that is moth-eaten.
