17. My transgression is sealed up in a bag,and You plaster over my iniquity.
18. “Surely the mountain falling comes to nothing,and the rock is removed out of its place.
19. The waters wear away the stones;its overflow washes away the dust of the earth;and You destroy the hope of man.
20. You prevail forever against him, and he passes on;changing his countenance, You send him away.
21. His sons come to honor, and he does not know it;and they are brought low, but he does not perceive it.
22. But his flesh on him will have pain,and his soul within him will mourn.”
