"And because of pride, you will seize me like a lioness, and having returned, you torment me to an extraordinary degree."
— Job 10:16, Catholic Public Domain Version
“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.”
“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.”
Though you may conceal this in your heart, yet I know that you remember everything.
If I have sinned, and you have spared me for an hour, why do you not endure me to be clean from my iniquity?
And if I should be impious, woe to me, and if I should be just, I will not lift up my head, being drenched with affliction and misery.
And because of pride, you will seize me like a lioness, and having returned, you torment me to an extraordinary degree.
You renew your testimony against me, and you multiply your wrath against me, and these punishments make war within me.
Why did you lead me out of the womb? If only I had been consumed, so that no eye would ever see me!
I should have been as if I had not been: transferred from the womb to the tomb.
