Job 10:16 in Context — Job 10

14 Se eu pecar, tu me observarás, e não absolverás minha culpa.

15 Se eu for perverso, ai de mim! Mesmo se eu for justo, não levantarei minha cabeça; estou farto de desonra, e de ver minha aflição.

16 Se [minha cabeça] se exaltar, tu me caças como um leão feroz, e voltas a fazer em coisas extraordinárias contra mim.

17 Renovas tuas testemunhas contra mim, e multiplicas tua ira sobre mim; combates vêm sucessivamente contra mim.

18 Por que me tiraste da madre? [Bom seria] se eu não tivesse respirado, e nenhum olho me visse!
