Job 10:16

Read in context

Job 10:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

18 Why then did You bring me from the womb? Oh, that I had died, and no eye had seen me!
