Bible verse
Should I hold my head high, You would hunt me like a lion, and again display Your power against me.
Job 10:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 10.
12 You have granted me life and loving devotion, and Your care has preserved my spirit.
13 Yet You concealed these things in Your heart, and I know that this was in Your mind:
14 If I sinned, You would take note, and would not acquit me of my iniquity.
15 If I am guilty, woe to me! And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift my head. I am full of shame and aware of my affliction.
16 Should I hold my head high, You would hunt me like a lion, and again display Your power against me.
17 You produce new witnesses against me and multiply Your anger toward me. Hardships assault me in wave after wave.
18 Why then did You bring me from the womb? Oh, that I had died, and no eye had seen me!
19 If only I had never come to be, but had been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Are my days not few? Withdraw from me, that I may have a little comfort,
KJV
For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
ASV
And if my head exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion; And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me.
ERV
And if my head exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvelous upon me.
