'Sin' in the Bible

But he said to her, “You speak as one of the [spiritually] foolish women speaks [ignorant and oblivious to God’s will]. Shall we indeed accept [only] good from God and not [also] accept adversity and disaster?” In [spite of] all this Job did not sin with [words from] his lips.

That You seek my guiltAnd search for my sin?

‘If I sin, then You would take note and observe me,And You would not acquit me of my guilt.

If sin is in your hand, put it far away [from you],And do not let wrongdoing dwell in your tents;

Then, indeed, you could lift up your face [to Him] without moral defect,And you would be firmly established and secure and not fear.

“How many are my iniquities and sins [that so much sorrow should come to me]?Make me recognize and understand my transgression and my sin.

“But now You number [each of] my steps;You do not observe nor take note of my sin.

“Are the consolations of God [as we have interpreted them to you] too trivial for you,[Or] were we too gentle toward you [in our first speech] to be effective?

“No, I have not allowed my mouth to sinBy cursing my enemy and asking for his life.

‘For he adds rebellion [in his unsubmissive, defiant attitude toward God] to his [unacknowledged] sin;He claps his hands among us [in open mockery and contempt of God],And he multiplies his words [of accusation] against God.’”
