Context of Job 10:14
12You gave me life and steadfast love, and Your care has preserved my spirit. 13“Yet these things You have hid in Your heart, for I know that this is with You. If I sinned, You would watch me, and not acquit me of my iniquity. 15If I am guilty, woe to me! Even if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head. I am full of shame and conscious of my affliction. 16If my head is held high, You hunt me like a lion, and again work wonders against 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.

His gloom, unbelief, and hard thoughts of God, were as much to be ascribed to Satan's inward temptations, and his anguish of soul, under the sense of God's displeasure, as to his outward trials, and remaining depravity.
