"And that if there was cause for pride, you would go after me like a lion; and again put out your wonders against me:"
— Job 10:16, Bible in Basic English
“For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.”
“And ifmy head exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion; And again thou showest 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.”
“For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.”
But you kept these things in the secret of your heart; I am certain this was in your thoughts:
That, if I did wrong, you would take note of it, and would not make me clear from sin:
That, if I was an evil-doer, the curse would come on me; and if I was upright, my head would not be lifted up, being full of shame and overcome with trouble.
And that if there was cause for pride, you would go after me like a lion; and again put out your wonders against me:
That you would send new witnesses against me, increasing your wrath against me, and letting loose new armies on me.
Why then did you make me come out of my mother's body? It would have been better for me to have taken my last breath, and for no eye to have seen me,
And for me to have been as if I had not been; to have been taken from my mother's body straight to my last resting-place.
