I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?

Verse 20 is found in chapter 7 of Job. Job now directs his words directly to God. He asks why God watches over human beings and why he does not grant relief. He even asks for forgiveness for an unspecified fault, wondering what he could have done to become the target of such attention. The prayer reveals a relationship with God that is still active: Job protests precisely because he continues addressing him.
