Holy Scripture

Job 13:25

A church father on this verse
“Why, Job says, do you not act clearly? Why do you not say, See, this is the reason why I punish you? It is no small consolation for those who are chastised to know the reason for their punishment. That is why Job says, "Make me know my transgressions," but God will not let him know.”
John Chrysostom, 5th c. — COMMENTARY ON JOB 13:24-25B

25Wilt thou be startled at me, as at a leaf shaken by the wind? Or wilt thou set thyself against me as against grass borne upon the breeze?

23How many are my sins and my transgressions? Teach me what they are.

24Wherefore hidest thou thyself from me, And deemest me thine enemy?

— Job 13:25 —

26For thou hast written evil things against me, And thou hast compassed me with the sins of my youth.

27And thou hast placed my foot in the stocks; And thou hast watched all my works, And hast penetrated to my heels.
