14. If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my warfare would I wait, Till my release should come.
15. Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee: Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of thy hands.
16. But now thou numberest my steps: Dost thou not watch over my sin?
17. My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And thou fastenest up mine iniquity.
18. But the mountain falling cometh to nought; And the rock is removed out of its place;
19. The waters wear the stones; The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth: So thou destroyest the hope of man.
20. Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth; Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
21. His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not; And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
22. But his flesh upon him hath pain, And his soul within him mourneth.
