Job 7:17-21

17 1What is man that You magnify him, And that You 2are concerned about him,18That 3You examine him every morning And try him every moment?19 4 5Will You never turn Your gaze away from me, Nor let me alone until I swallow my spittle?20 6Have I sinned? What have I done to You, O 7watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target, So that I am a burden to myself?21Why then 8do You not pardon my transgression And take away my iniquity? For now I will 9lie down in the dust; And You will seek me, 10but I will not be.”
