Job 7:19-21
Amplified Bible
19
“Will You never turn Your gaze away from me [it plagues me],
Nor let me alone until I swallow my spittle?
20
“If I have sinned, what [harm] have I done to You,
O Watcher of mankind?
Why have You set me as a target for You,
So that I am a burden to myself?
21
“Why then do You not pardon my transgression
And take away my sin and guilt?
For now I will lie down in the dust;
And You will seek me [diligently], but I will not be.”
Job 7:19-21
New International Version
19 Will you never look away from me,(A)
or let me alone even for an instant?(B)
20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you,(C)
you who see everything we do?
Why have you made me your target?(D)
Have I become a burden to you?[a](E)
21 Why do you not pardon my offenses
and forgive my sins?(F)
For I will soon lie down in the dust;(G)
you will search for me, but I will be no more.”(H)
