Context of Job 10:14
12Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. 13And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee. If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity. 15If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction; 16For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14If I sin - The object of this verse and the following is, evidently, to say that he was wholly perplexed. He did not know how to act.

Our Creator, become in Christ our Redeemer also, will not destroy the work of his hands in…Read the comment
