Bible in Basic English
"For you put bitter things on record against me, and send punishment on me for the sins of my early years;"
— Job 13:26, Bible in Basic English
“For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.”
What is the number of my evil-doings and my sins? give me knowledge of them.
Why is your face veiled from me, as if I was numbered among your haters?
Will you be hard on a leaf in flight before the wind? will you make a dry stem go more quickly on its way?
For you put bitter things on record against me, and send punishment on me for the sins of my early years;
And you put chains on my feet, watching all my ways, and making a limit for my steps;
Though a man comes to nothing like a bit of dead wood, or like a robe which has become food for the worm.
