Job 10:15

if I be wicked Better, were I wicked guilty of great offences. Job cannot express what would be the punishment of greater sins were e guilty of them, but indicates its incalculable severity by the exclamation, Woe unto me! This the second supposition.

and if I be righteous Rather, and were I righteous.

yet will I not lift up Or, yet must I notlift up my head.

I am full of confusion The words to the end of the verse must mean, being filled with shame and beholding(or, and with the sight of) mine affliction. Were Job righteous he must not lift up his head in the consciousness of innocence or to protest against his being held guilty. This is the third supposition, which is further illustrated in the next verse.
