Context of Job 10:13

11You clothed me with skin and flesh, and you knit my bones and sinews together. 12You gave me life and showed me your unfailing love. My life was preserved by your care. “‘Yet your real motive— your true intent— 14was to watch me, and if I sinned, you would not forgive my guilt. 15If I am guilty, too bad for me; and even if I’m innocent, I can’t hold my head high, because I am filled with shame and misery.
