Job 10:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ “ ‘Woe to me if I should be wicked.
    Even if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head,
for I am filled with shame
    and bent over with affliction.
¹⁶ Should I lift up my head, you hunt me like a proud lion,
    confronting me time and again with your awesome power.
¹⁷ You renew your onslaughts against me,
    your fury increasing incessantly
    as fresh troops assail me wave after wave.
