13 Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! 14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my warfare would I wait, till my release should come. 15 Thou shouldest call, and I would answer thee: thou wouldest have a desire to the work of thine hands. 16 But now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin? 17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou fastenest up mine iniquity. 18 And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of its place; 19 The waters wear the stones; the overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth: and thou destroyest the hope of man. 20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth; thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away. 21 His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them. 22 But his flesh upon him hath pain, and his soul within him mourneth.
