Job 10:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 10:15

13 ‘And these things You have hidden in Your heart;
I know that this was with You:

14 If I sin, then ^aYou mark me,
And will not acquit me of my iniquity.

15 If I am wicked, ^awoe to me;
^bEven if I am righteous, I¹ cannot lift up my head.
I am full of disgrace;
^cSee my misery!

16 If my head is exalted,
^aYou hunt me like a fierce lion,
And again You show Yourself awesome against me.

17 You renew Your witnesses against me,
And increase Your indignation toward me;
Changes and war are ever with me.

18 ‘Why^a then have You brought me out of the womb?
Oh, that I had perished and no eye had seen me!

19 I would have been as though I had not been.
I would have been carried from the womb to the grave.
