Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb הֹדִיעֵֽנִי (make known to me) governs the entire verse, with a series of noun phrases detailing Job's inquiries about his sins and transgressions. The structure emphasizes Job's direct appeal to God for clarity.
The sentence is built around Job's questioning nature, with the finite verb leading the inquiry and the subsequent phrases elaborating on what he wishes to be revealed.

AdamClarkeAdam Clarke's Commentary on the BibleVerse 23. How many are mine iniquities] Job being permitted to begin first, enters immediately upon the subject; and as it was a fact that he was grievously afflicted, and this his friends asserted was in consequence of grievous iniquities, he first desires to have them specified. What are the specific charges in this indictment? To say I must be a sinner to be thus afflicted, is saying nothing; tell me what are the sins, and show me the proofs.

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges23. Job begins his plea with the demand to know the number of his sins—how many iniquities and sins have I?—and in general to be made aware of them. He means what great sins he is guilty of, sins that account for his present afflictions. He does not deny sinfulness, even sins of his youth (Job 13:26); what he denies is special sins of such magnitude as to account for his calamities. Job and his friends both agree in the theory that great afflictions are evidence that God holds those whom He afflicts guilty of great offences. The friends believe that Job is guilty of such offences; he knows he is not, and he here demands to know what the sins are of which God holds him guilty.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text presents the verse as כַּמָּ֣ה לִ֭י עֲוֹנ֣וֹת וְחַטָּא֑וֹת פִּֽשְׁעִ֥י וְ֝חַטָּאתִ֗י הֹדִיעֵֽנִי׃, while the Septuagint provides a different structure, and the Dead Sea Scrolls show some restoration. The scrolls partially restored the text, indicating that not all words were intact.
