14
If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, Till my change comes.
15
You shall call, and I will answer You; You shall desire the work of Your hands.
16
For now You number my steps, But do not watch over my sin.
17
My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And You cover my iniquity.
18
"But as a mountain falls and crumbles away, And as a rock is moved from its place;
19
As water wears away stones, And as torrents wash away the soil of the earth; So You destroy the hope of man.
20
You prevail forever against him, and he passes on; You change his countenance and send him away.
21
His sons come to honor, and he does not know it; They are brought low, and he does not perceive it.
22
But his flesh will be in pain over it, And his soul will mourn over it."
