14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
14 If I sinned, you would be watching me and would not let my offense go unpunished.
14 If I sin, you watch me and do not acquit me of my iniquity.
14 That if I so much as missed a step, you'd notice and pounce, wouldn't let me get by with a thing.
14 If I sin, then You mark me, And will not acquit me of my iniquity.
14 was to watch me, and if I sinned, you would not forgive my guilt.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 10:14
Commentary on Job 10:14-22
(Read Job 10:14-22)
Job did not deny that as a sinner he deserved his sufferings; but he thought that justice was executed upon him with peculiar rigour. His gloom, unbelief, and hard thoughts of God, were as much to be ascribed to Satan's inward temptations, and his anguish of soul, under the sense of God's displeasure, as to his outward trials, and remaining depravity. Our Creator, become in Christ our Redeemer also, will not destroy the work of his hands in any humble believer; but will renew him unto holiness, that he may enjoy eternal life. If anguish on earth renders the grave a desirable refuge, what will be their condition who are condemned to the blackness of darkness for ever? Let every sinner seek deliverance from that dreadful state, and every believer be thankful to Jesus, who delivereth from the wrath to come.
