16. But now, my steps Thou numberest, Thou dost not watch over my sin.
17. Sealed up in a bag [is] my transgression, And Thou sewest up mine iniquity.
18. And yet, a falling mountain wasteth away, And a rock is removed from its place.
19. Stones have waters worn away, Their outpourings wash away the dust of earth, And the hope of man Thou hast destroyed.
20. Thou prevailest [over] him for ever, and he goeth, He is changing his countenance, And Thou sendest him away.
21. Honoured are his sons, and he knoweth not; And they are little, and he attendeth not to them.
22. Only--his flesh for him is pained, And his soul for him doth mourn.'
