If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;

Verse 15 is found in chapter 10 of Job. Job considers the possibility that suffering may have been hidden within God’s purpose, although he cannot understand it. If he is guilty, he fears judgment; if he is righteous, he still experiences affliction. Finally, he asks God to turn his gaze away so that he may enjoy some rest before dying.

Bin ich gottlos, dann wehe mir! bin ich gerecht, so darf ich doch mein Haupt nicht aufheben, als der ich voll Schmach bin und sehe mein Elend.
Si fuere malo, ¡ay de mí! Y si fuere justo, no levantaré mi cabeza, Estando harto de deshonra, Y de verme afligido.
Si soy malvado, ¡ay de mí! Y si soy justo, no puedo levantar la cabeza, colmado de vergüenza. ¡Mira mi aflicción!
Suis-je coupable, malheur à moi! Suis-je innocent, je n'ose lever la tête, Rassasié de honte et absorbé dans ma misère.
Se io sono stato reo, guai a me; E se son giusto, non però alzo il capo, Essendo sazio d’ignominia, e veggendo la mia afflizione;
Se for ímpio, ai de mim! E se for justo, não levantarei a minha cabeça; farto estou da minha ignomínia; e vê qual é a minha aflição,
我若行惡,我就有禍了; 我若行義,也不敢抬頭, 而是飽受羞辱, 看見我的痛苦。
