Job 10:8-17

Christian Standard Bible

⁸ “Your hands shaped me and formed me.^(A)
Will you now turn and destroy me?
⁹ Please remember that you formed me like clay.
Will you now return me to dust?^(B)
10 Did you not pour me out like milk
and curdle me like cheese?
¹¹ You clothed me with skin and flesh,
and wove me together with bones and tendons.^(C)
12 You gave me life and faithful love,
and your care has guarded my life.

¹³ “Yet you concealed these thoughts in your heart;
I know that this was your hidden plan:^[a]
14 if I sin, you would notice,^[b]
and would not acquit me of my iniquity.^(D)
15 If I am wicked, woe to me!
And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head.
I am filled with shame^(E)
and have drunk deeply of^[c] my affliction.^(F)
16 If I am proud,^[d] you hunt me like a lion
and again display your miraculous power against me.^(G)
17 You produce new witnesses^[e] against me
and multiply your anger toward me.
Hardships assault me, wave after wave.^[f]
