Job 14:17

ForgivenessSinGuilt and conscience

15 You will call, and I will answer; You will desire the work of Your hands.

16 For then You would count my steps, but would not keep track of my sin.

My transgression would be sealed in a bag, and You would cover over my iniquity.

18 But as a mountain erodes and crumbles and a rock is dislodged from its place,

19 as water wears away the stones and torrents wash away the soil, so You destroy a man’s hope.
