Job 10:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 If I should be wicked, alas for me!
even if righteous, I dare not hold up my head,
sated with shame, drenched in affliction!
16 Should it lift up, you hunt me like a lion:
repeatedly you show your wondrous power against me,
17 You renew your attack[a] upon me
and multiply your harassment of me;
in waves your troops come against me.

- 10:17 Attack: or “witnesses,” continuing the metaphor of lawsuit used in these chapters.
