Job 10:12
10 Did You not pour me out like milk, and curdle me like cheese?
11 You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
