Context of Job 10:7
5Are your days as the days of man, or your years as a man's years, 6that you seek out my iniquity and search for my sin, although you know that I am not guilty, and there is none to deliver out of your hand? 8Your hands fashioned and made me, and now you have destroyed me altogether. 9Remember that you have made me like clay; and will you return me to the dust?
