Job 7:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ Won’t you ever look away from me?
    Won’t you leave me alone even for one second?
²⁰ If I’ve really sinned, tell me what I’ve done to you.
    You see everything we do.
Why do you shoot your arrows at me?
    Have I become a problem to you?
²¹ Why don’t you forgive the wrong things I’ve done?
    Why don’t you forgive me for my sins?
I’ll soon lie down in the dust of my grave.
    You will search for me. But I’ll be gone.”
