Context of Job 10:7

5Are your days like those of a mortal or your years like those of a strong man, 6that you must search out my faults and probe after my sin— though you know that I am not guilty and that no one can rescue me from your hand? 8“Your hands shaped me and made me. Will you now turn and destroy me? 9Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to 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.
