Job 7:20-21
GOD’S WORD Translation
20 If I sin, what can I ⌞possibly⌟ do to you
since you insist on spying on people?
Why do you make me your target?
I’ve become a burden even to myself.
21 Why don’t you forgive my disobedience
and take away my sin?
Soon I’ll lie down in the dust.
Then you will search for me, but I’ll be gone!”
Job 7:20-21
New International Version
20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you,(A)
you who see everything we do?
Why have you made me your target?(B)
Have I become a burden to you?[a](C)
21 Why do you not pardon my offenses
and forgive my sins?(D)
For I will soon lie down in the dust;(E)
you will search for me, but I will be no more.”(F)
