14. If people die, will they live again?All the days of my service I would waituntil my restoration took place.
15. You would call, and I would answer you;you would long for your handiwork.
16. Though you now number my steps,you would not keep a record of my sin.
17. My rebellion is sealed in a bag;you would cover my sin.
18. But an eroding mountain breaks up,and rock is displaced.
19. Water wears away boulders;floods carry away soil;you destroy a people’s hope.
20. You overpower them relentlessly, and they die;you change their appearance and send them away.
