Context of Job 10:7
5Are your days like a mortal’s days? Are your years like a human’s years? 6Is that why you look for guilt in me and search for sin in me? You know I’m not guilty, but there is no one to rescue me from your hands. 8“ ‘Your hands formed me and made every part of me, then you turned to destroy me. 9Please remember that you made me out of clay and that you will return me to the dust again.

- 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.
