Job 7:20-21
The Voice
20 I have sinned. What have I done to You,
You who watch after humanity?
Why have You targeted me, a man whose life is just a breath?
Am I really such a heavy load for You?
21 So I’ve sinned inadvertently: can’t You pardon me?
Are my crimes such You can’t forgive my sins?
After all, I will lie in the dust, and it won’t be long
until You will look for me, but I’ll be gone.
Job 7:20-21
New International Version
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)
