Job 10:13-17
New Living Translation
13 “‘Yet your real motive—
your true intent—
14 was to watch me, and if I sinned,
you would not forgive my guilt.
15 If I am guilty, too bad for me;
and even if I’m innocent, I can’t hold my head high,
because I am filled with shame and misery.
16 And if I hold my head high, you hunt me like a lion
and display your awesome power against me.
17 Again and again you witness against me.
You pour out your growing anger on me
and bring fresh armies against me.
Job 10:13-17
International Standard Version
13 But you’ve hidden these things in your heart—
I know this was your purpose:[a]
14 If I sin, you watch me
and won’t acquit me for my iniquity.
15 “‘Woe to me if I’m guilty!
If I’m innocent, I cannot lift my head,
because I am filled with disgrace.
Look at my affliction!
16 But if I do lift up my head,
you will hunt me like a lion!
You will perform miracles in order to fight against me.
17 “‘You have brought new witnesses against me,
you’re even more angry with me—
you’ve brought fresh troops to attack me!
