5Are Your days as the days of a mortal, Are Your years as man’s years, 6That You seek my guilt And search for my sin? Although You know that I am not guilty or wicked, Yet there is no one who can rescue me from Your hand. 8‘Your hands have formed and made me altogether. Would You [turn around and] destroy me? 9Remember now, that You have made me as clay; So will You turn me into dust again?

Commentaries on Job 10:7

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7Thou knowest that I am not wicked - While thou hast this knowledge of me and my conduct, why appear to be sifting me as if in order to find out sin; and though none can be found, treating me as though I were a transgressor?Read the comment
