Job 14:15-17

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee;
    thou wouldest long for the work of thy hands.
¹⁶ For then thou wouldest number my steps,
    thou wouldest not keep watch over my sin;
¹⁷ my transgression would be sealed up in a bag,
    and thou wouldest cover over my iniquity.
