Job 10:14-22
New International Version
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)

Job 10:14-22
King James Version
Job 10:14-22
King James Version
14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
16 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21 Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22 A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
