15 You would call, and I myself would answer you; you would long for the work of your hand.

17 My transgression would be sealed in a bag, and you would cover over my guilt.
18 “But a mountain falls; it crumbles away, and a rock moves away from its place.
19 Water wears away stones; its torrents wash away the soil of the earth; so you destroy the hope of human beings.
20 You overpower him forever, and he passes away; you change his countenance, then you send him away.
