Context of Job 10:13

11Didn’t you dress me in skin and flesh and weave me together with bones and tendons? 12You gave me life and mercy. Your watchfulness has preserved my spirit. But in your heart you hid these things. I know this is what you did. 14“ ‘If I sin, you watch me and will not free me from my guilt. 15How terrible it will be for me if I’m guilty! Even if I’m righteous, I dare not lift up my head. I am filled with disgrace while I look on my misery.
