For (D)a godless person cannot come before His presence.

  1. Job 14:1 Lit short of days

14 If a man dies, will he live again?
All the days of my struggle I will wait
Until my relief comes.
15 You will call, and I will answer You;
You will long for (A)the work of Your hands.
16 For now You (B)number my steps,
You do not (C)observe my sin.
17 My wrongdoing is (D)sealed up in a bag,
And You cover over my [a]guilt.
