Job 7:20-21
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you,
Watcher of humanity?
Why have you made me your target,(A)
so that I have become a burden to you?[a]
21 Why not forgive my sin
and pardon my iniquity?(B)
For soon I will lie down in the grave.(C)
You will eagerly seek me, but I will be gone.(D)

Job 7:20-21
King James Version
20 I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
21 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.

New King James Version
20 Have I sinned?
What have I done to You, (A)O watcher of men?
Why (B)have You set me as Your target,
So that I am a burden [a]to myself?

And take away my iniquity?
For now I will lie down in the dust,
And You will seek me diligently,
But I will no longer be.”
