Job 10:8
6 that You should seek my iniquity and search out my sin—
7 though You know that I am not guilty, and there is no deliverance from Your hand?
Your hands shaped me and altogether formed me. Would You now turn and destroy me?
9 Please remember that You molded me like clay. Would You now return me to dust?
10 Did You not pour me out like milk, and curdle me like cheese?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
