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.”
