Job 10:14-22

New International Version

¹⁴ If I sinned, you would be watching me^(A)
    and would not let my offense go unpunished.^(B)
15 If I am guilty^(C)—woe to me!^(D)
    Even if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head,^(E)
for I am full of shame
    and drowned in^[a] my affliction.^(F)
16 If I hold my head high, you stalk me like a lion^(G)
    and again display your awesome power against me.^(H)
17 You bring new witnesses against me^(I)
    and increase your anger toward me;^(J)
    your forces come against me wave upon wave.^(K)

¹⁸ “Why then did you bring me out of the womb?^(L)
    I wish I had died before any eye saw me.^(M)
19 If only I had never come into being,
    or had been carried straight from the womb to the grave!^(N)
20 Are not my few days^(O) almost over?^(P)
    Turn away from me^(Q) so I can have a moment’s joy^(R)
21 before I go to the place of no return,^(S)
    to the land of gloom and utter darkness,^(T)
22 to the land of deepest night,
    of utter darkness^(U) and disorder,
    where even the light is like darkness.”^(V)
