Job 10:16 Context
14If I sinne, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquite me from mine iniquitie. 15If I be wicked, woe vnto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift vp my head: I am full of confusion, therefore see thou mine affliction: 16For it increaseth: thou huntest me as a fierce Lion: and againe thou shewest thy selfe marueilous vpon me. 17Thou renuest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation vpon me; Changes and warre are against me. 18Wherfore then hast thou brought me forth out of the wombe? Oh that I had giuen vp the ghost, and no eye had seene me!
