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.
21. Their children achieve honor, and they don’t know it;their children become insignificant, and they don’t see it.
22. They only feel the pain of their body,and they mourn for themselves.
