Job 10:16
increaseth—rather, "(if) I lift up (my head) Thou wouldest hunt me," etc. [UMBREIT].
and again—as if a lion should not kill his prey at once, but come back and torture it again.
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!
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.
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.
And increase Your indignation toward me;
Changes and war are ever with me.
