12. You have assigned to me life and mercy, and your visitation has preserved my spirit.
13. Though you may conceal this in your heart, yet I know that you remember everything.
14. If I have sinned, and you have spared me for an hour, why do you not endure me to be clean from my iniquity?
15. And if I should be impious, woe to me, and if I should be just, I will not lift up my head, being drenched with affliction and misery.
16. And because of pride, you will seize me like a lioness, and having returned, you torment me to an extraordinary degree.
17. You renew your testimony against me, and you multiply your wrath against me, and these punishments make war within me.
