Job 7:20-21
Common English Bible
20 If I sinned, what did I do to you,
guardian of people?
Why have you made me your target
so that I’m a burden to myself?
21 Why not forgive my sin,
overlook my iniquity?
Then I would lie down in the dust;
you would search hard for me,
and I would not exist.
Job 7:20-21
New International Version
20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you,(A)
you who see everything we do?
Why have you made me your target?(B)
Have I become a burden to you?[a](C)
21 Why do you not pardon my offenses
and forgive my sins?(D)
For I will soon lie down in the dust;(E)
you will search for me, but I will be no more.”(F)
