Immediate context (±2 verses)

ASV (ASV)

"6. That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, And searchest after my sin, 7. Although thou knowest that I am not wicked, And there is none that can deliver out of thy hand?"

"8. Thy hands have framed me and fashioned me Together round about; yet thou dost destroy me. 9. Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast fashioned me as clay; And wilt thou bring me into dust again? 10. Hast thou not poured me out as milk, And curdled me like cheese? 11. Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews. 12. Thou hast granted me life and lovingkindness; And thy visitation hath preserved my spirit."

"13. Yet these things thou didst hide in thy heart; I know that this is with thee: 14. If I sin, then thou markest me, And thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity." (Job 10:6-14, ASV)

Quoted in

Why these four translations

ris3n chose ASV, WEB, KJV, and YLT for two reasons together. They are the most literal English translations available (formal-equivalence: word-for-word renderings that preserve the Hebrew and Greek grammar rather than smoothing it into modern dynamic-equivalence idiom). And they are in the public domain in the United States, which means fair-use quotation at any length requires no publisher license. Modern licensed translations (NASB95, ESV, NIV) restrict volume of quotation under their copyright terms, so they are not used at stub-level coverage here. NASB95 appears only on hand-curated rich passage hubs under Lockman Foundation's fair-use allowance.

The four:

ASV (American Standard Version, 1901). The basis of the modern critical-text English tradition.
WEB (World English Bible, contemporary). Public-domain revision in the ASV line, in current English.
KJV (King James Version, 1611). Reformation-era, Textus Receptus base.
YLT (Young's Literal Translation, Robert Young, 1862). Hyper-literal preservation of Hebrew and Greek grammar; useful for word-study work even where English reads stiff.
