16 For now thou dost number my steps; thou dost not open up my sin.
17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou dost sew up my iniquity.
18 And certainly the mountain that falls is undone, and the rocks are removed out of their place.
19 The impetuous waters break the stones and wash away the dust of the earth; in like manner thou dost cause man to lose hope.
20 Thou shalt be stronger than him for ever, and he passes; thou dost change his countenance and send him away.
21 His sons shall be honoured and he shall not know of it; or they shall be afflicted, but he shall not perceive of them.
22 But while his flesh is upon him, he shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
