13 “Oh that you would hide me in Sheol,[a]
    that you would keep me secret until your wrath is past,
    that you would appoint me a set time and remember me!
14 If a man dies, will he live again?
    I would wait all the days of my warfare,
    until my release should come.
15 You would call, and I would answer you.
    You would have a desire for the work of your hands.
16 But now you count my steps.

17 My disobedience is sealed up in a bag.
    You fasten up my iniquity.

    you would long for the work of your hands.
16 For then you would not[a] number my steps;
    you would not keep watch over my sin;(C)
17 my transgression would be sealed up in a bag,
    and you would cover over my iniquity.(D)
