Job 10:15-17

The Voice

¹⁵     If I am wicked, woe is me;
        even if I am innocent, I cannot take a chance and lift my head
    Because I’m gorged with disgrace.
        Gaze on my misery!
¹⁶     If I do raise my head,
        then like a lion, You hunt me;
    Like a night sky turned threatening,
        You unfold Your power against me so that others marvel;
¹⁷     Like a prosecutor, You drag in witnesses against me;
        You escalate Your fury against me, coming in waves to pound on me.
