Job 10:7-15 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

7. You already know I'm not guilty. No one can save me from your powerful hand.

8. " 'Your hands shaped me and made me. So are you going to destroy me now?

9. Remember, you molded me like clay. So are you going to turn me back into dust?

10. Didn't you pour me out like milk? Didn't you form me like cheese?

11. Didn't you put skin and flesh on me? Didn't you sew me together with bones and muscles?

12. You gave me life. You were kind to me. You took good care of me. You watched over me.

13. " 'But here's what you hid in your heart. Here's what you had on your mind.

14. If I sinned, you would be watching me. You wouldn't let me go without punishing me.

15. If I were guilty, how terrible that would be for me! Even if I haven't sinned, I can't be proud of what I've done. That's because I'm so full of shame. I'm drowning in my suffering.
