Context of Job 10:14

12Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy care hath preserved my spirit; 13And these things didst thou hide in thy heart; I know that this was with thee. If I sinned, thou wouldest mark me, and thou wouldest not acquit me of mine iniquity. 15If I were wicked, woe unto me! and righteous, I will not lift up my head, being [so] full of shame, and beholding mine affliction; — 16And it increaseth: thou huntest me as a fierce lion; and ever again thou shewest thy marvellous power upon me.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 14If I sin - From thee nothing can be hidden; if I sin, thou takest account of the transgression, and canst not hold me for innocent when thou knowest I am guilty.Read the comment

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 14-22Verses 14-22 Job did not deny that as a sinner he deserved his sufferings; but he thought that justice was executed upon him with peculiar rigour.
