Job 10:13 Context

◄ Job 10:13 ►

Yet You concealed these things in Your heart, and I know that this was in Your mind:

Context

13‘Yet these things You have concealed in Your heart;
I know that this is within You:

14If I sin, then You would take note of me,
And would not acquit me of my guilt.

15‘If I am wicked, woe to me!
And if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head.
I am sated with disgrace and conscious of my misery.

16‘Should my head be lifted up, You would hunt me like a lion;
And again You would show Your power against me.

17‘You renew Your witnesses against me
And increase Your anger toward me;
Hardship after hardship is with me.

18‘Why then have You brought me out of the womb?
Would that I had died and no eye had seen me!

19‘I should have been as though I had not been,
Carried from womb to tomb.’

20“Would He not let my few days alone?
Withdraw from me that I may have a little cheer

21Before I go—and I shall not return—
To the land of darkness and deep shadow,

22The land of utter gloom as darkness itself,
Of deep shadow without order,
And which shines as the darkness.”
