“That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?”
Job asks whether God seeks out Job's iniquity and searches for Job's sin, expressing concern that God is engaged in active investigation of Job's wrongdoing rather than in forgiveness. The image of searching for sin suggests the intensity of divine scrutiny and the unwillingness to overlook transgression. The divine investigation becomes oppressive.
