Context of Job 10:13

11You clothed me with skin and flesh, and wove me together with bones and tendons. 12You gave me life and faithful love, and your care has guarded my life. “Yet you concealed these thoughts in your heart; I know that this was your hidden plan: 14if I sin, you would notice, and would not acquit me of my iniquity. 15If I am wicked, woe to me! And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head. I am filled with shame and have drunk deeply of my affliction.
