"And ifmy head exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion; And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me. "
— Job 10:16, American Standard Version
“For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.”
“If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to me.”
“If I lift myself up, you hunt me as a fierce lion, and again you display your power against me.”
“And for pride thou wilt take me as a lioness, and returning, thou tormentest me wonderfully.”
“And that if there was cause for pride, you would go after me like a lion; and again put out your wonders against me:”
“For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.”
Yet these things thou didst hide in thy heart; I know that this is with thee:
If I sin, then thou markest me, And thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
If I be wicked, woe unto me; And if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head; Being filled with ignominy, And looking upon mine affliction.
And ifmy head exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion; And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me.
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, And increasest thine indignation upon me: Changes and warfare are with me.
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me.
I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
