Job 10:14

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:

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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
