Context of Job 10:7
5Is your life like a human life? It is surely not as short as that! 6So why do you want to discover all my sins? Why do you hurry to do that? You know that I am not guilty. But you also know that no one can save me from your power. 8Your own hands have made me who I am. But now you are completely destroying me. 9Remember that you made me, like someone who uses clay to make things. Will you now make me become 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
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7Thou knowest that I am not wicked - That is, that I am not a hypocrite, or an impenitent sinner.
