21 And why dost thou not pardon H5375 my transgression, H6588 and take away H5674 mine iniquity? H5771 for now shall I sleep H7901 in the dust; H6083 and thou shalt seek me in the morning, H7836 but I shall not be.
If I sin, H2398 then thou markest H8104 me, and thou wilt not acquit H5352 me from mine iniquity. H5771
And G2532 ye know G1492 that G3754 he G1565 was manifested G5319 to G2443 take away G142 our G2257 sins; G266 and G2532 in G1722 him G846 is G2076 no G3756 sin. G266
The next day G1887 John G2491 seeth G991 Jesus G2424 coming G2064 unto G4314 him, G846 and G2532 saith, G3004 Behold G2396 the Lamb G286 of God, G2316 which G3588 taketh away G142 the sin G266 of the world. G2889
Who is a God H410 like unto thee, that pardoneth H5375 iniquity, H5771 and passeth by H5674 the transgression H6588 of the remnant H7611 of his heritage? H5159 he retaineth H2388 not his anger H639 for ever, H5703 because he delighteth H2654 in mercy. H2617 He will turn again, H7725 he will have compassion H7355 upon us; he will subdue H3533 our iniquities; H5771 and thou wilt cast H7993 all their sins H2403 into the depths H4688 of the sea. H3220
Wherefore dost thou forget H7911 us for ever, H5331 and forsake H5800 us so long H753 time? H3117 Turn H7725 thou us unto thee, O LORD, H3068 and we shall be turned; H7725 renew H2318 our days H3117 as of old. H6924 But thou hast utterly H3988 rejected H3988 us; thou art very H3966 wroth H7107 against us.
We H5168 have transgressed H6586 and have rebelled: H4784 thou hast not pardoned. H5545 Thou hast covered H5526 with anger, H639 and persecuted H7291 us: thou hast slain, H2026 thou hast not pitied. H2550 Thou hast covered H5526 thyself with a cloud, H6051 that our prayer H8605 should not pass through. H5674
And David's H1732 heart H3820 smote H5221 him after H310 that he had numbered H5608 the people. H5971 And David H1732 said H559 unto the LORD, H3068 I have sinned H2398 greatly H3966 in that I have done: H6213 and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, H3068 take away H5674 the iniquity H5771 of thy servant; H5650 for I have done very H3966 foolishly. H5528
Thy dead H4191 men shall live, H2421 together with my dead body H5038 shall they arise. H6965 Awake H6974 and sing, H7442 ye that dwell H7931 in dust: H6083 for thy dew H2919 is as the dew H2919 of herbs, H219 and the earth H776 shall cast out H5307 the dead. H7496
Yet he passed away, H5674 and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought H1245 him, but he could not be found. H4672
How many are mine iniquities H5771 and sins? H2403 make me to know H3045 my transgression H6588 and my sin. H2403 Wherefore hidest H5641 thou thy face, H6440 and holdest H2803 me for thine enemy? H341

Commentary on Job 7 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 7
Job, in this chapter, goes on to express the bitter sense he had of his calamities and to justify himself in his desire of death.
Job 7:1-6
Job is here excusing what he could not justify, even his inordinate desire of death. Why should he not wish for the termination of life, which would be the termination of his miseries? To enforce this reason he argues,
Job 7:7-16
Job, observing perhaps that his friends, though they would not interrupt him in his discourse, yet began to grow weary, and not to heed much what he said, here turns to God, and speaks to him. If men will not hear us, God will; if men cannot help us, he can; for his arm is not shortened, neither is his ear heavy. Yet we must not go to school to Job here to learn how to speak to God; for, it must be confessed, there is a great mixture of passion and corruption in what he here says. But, if God be not extreme to mark what his people say amiss, let us also make the best of it. Job is here begging of God either to ease him or to end him. He here represents himself to God,
Job 7:17-21
Job here reasons with God,
