Context of Job 10:14
12You gave me life and faithful love, and your care has guarded my life. 13“Yet you concealed these thoughts in your heart; I know that this was your hidden plan: if 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. 16If I am proud, you hunt me like a lion and again display your miraculous power against me.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14If I sin - The object of this verse and the following is, evidently, to say that he was wholly perplexed. He did not know how to act. He could not understand the reason of the divine dealings, and he was wholly unable to explain them, and hence, he did not know how to act in a proper manner. It is expressive of a state of mind where the individual wishes to think and feel right, but where he finds so much to perplex him, that he does not know what to do…Read the comment

His gloom, unbelief, and hard thoughts of God, were as much to be ascribed to Satan's inward temptations, and his anguish of soul, under the sense of God's displeasure, as to his outward trials, and remaining depravity. Our Creator, become in Christ our Redeemer also, will not destroy the work of his hands in…Read the comment
