13 “But this is what you concealed in your heart,
    and I know that this was in your mind:(A)
14 If I sinned, you would be watching me(B)
    and would not let my offense go unpunished.(C)
15 If I am guilty(D)—woe to me!(E)
    Even if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head,(F)
for I am full of shame
    and drowned in[a] my affliction.(G)
16 If I hold my head high, you stalk me like a lion(H)
    and again display your awesome power against me.(I)
17 You bring new witnesses against me(J)
    and increase your anger toward me;(K)
    your forces come against me wave upon wave.(L)

  1. Job 10:15 Or and aware of

13 Yet You have concealed (A)these things in Your heart;
I know that this is within You:
14 If I have sinned, You will (B)take note of me,
And (C)will not acquit me of my guilt.
15 If (D)I am wicked, woe to me!
But if (E)I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head.
I am full of shame, and [a]conscious of my misery.
16 And should my head be high, (F)You would hunt me like a lion;
And You would show Your (G)power against me again.
17 You renew (H)Your witnesses against me
And increase Your anger toward me;
[b](I)Hardship after hardship is with me.
