"Have I sinned? What have I done to You,Here, Job is asking God if there is something wrong, as his friends have suggested. He rejects their condemnation, but still asks God if he has done something wrong. I'm not certain if he's is starting to question is lack of wrongdoing, or if he's asking the question as a retort to his friends' criticism.
O watcher of men?
Why have You set me as Your target,
So that I am a burden to myself?
Either way, he is legitimately asking God why He has targeted him. A target's only function is to guide the attacker to the correct spot. In the process, it takes a lot of damage. Obviously, God's aim doesn't need work, nor does He need practice. So he must be asking why he's taking all this damage from Him. He's taking so much damage, in fact, that he's barely holding together, and having to work to keep himself from failing.
