Job 7:20-21
Good News Translation
20 Are you harmed by my sin, you jailer?
Why use me for your target practice?
Am I so great a burden to you?
21 Can't you ever forgive my sin?
Can't you pardon the wrong I do?
Soon I will be in my grave,
and I'll be gone when you look for me.
Job 7:20-21
New International Version
20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you,(A)
you who see everything we do?
Why have you made me your target?(B)
Have I become a burden to you?[a](C)
21 Why do you not pardon my offenses
and forgive my sins?(D)
For I will soon lie down in the dust;(E)
you will search for me, but I will be no more.”(F)
