Context of Job 10:13

11Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews. 12Thou hast granted me life and lovingkindness; And thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. Yet these things thou didst hide in thy heart; I know that this is with thee: 14If I sin, then thou markest me, And thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity. 15If I be wicked, woe unto me; And if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head; Being filled with ignominy, And looking upon mine affliction.
