Job 10:15

Read in context

Job 10:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible

13 Yet You concealed these things in Your heart, and I know that this was in Your mind:

14 If I sinned, You would take note, and would not acquit me of my iniquity.

15 If I am guilty, woe to me! And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift my head. I am full of shame and aware of my affliction.

16 Should I hold my head high, You would hunt me like a lion, and again display Your power against me.

17 You produce new witnesses against me and multiply Your anger toward me. Hardships assault me in wave after wave.
