Job 7:19-21
Authorized (King James) Version
19 How long wilt thou not depart from me,
nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
20 I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee,
O thou preserver of men?
why hast thou set me as a mark against thee,
so that I am a burden to myself?
21 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression,
and take away mine iniquity?
for now shall I sleep in the dust;
and thou shalt seek me in the morning,
but I shall not be.
Job 7:19-21
New International Version
19 Will you never look away from me,(A)
or let me alone even for an instant?(B)
20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you,(C)
you who see everything we do?
Why have you made me your target?(D)
Have I become a burden to you?[a](E)
21 Why do you not pardon my offenses
and forgive my sins?(F)
For I will soon lie down in the dust;(G)
you will search for me, but I will be no more.”(H)
