Job 13:23 - Exposition

How many are mine iniquities and sins? This is scarcely, as Professor Stanley Leathes represents it, "a deep confession of personal sin". It is more in the nature of a remonstrance. "These sins of mine, for which I. am so grievously punished, what are they? Name them. How many are there of them? Let me know exactly what they are; and then I can question my conscience concerning them." Make me to know my transgression and my sin . These words imply that lie does not know them at present. He knows of some infirmities and lighter misdoings of his youth ( Job 13:26 ); but he knows of no such sins as are commensurate with his sufferings.
