Job 14:17
Douay-Rheims
Thou hast sealed up my offences as it were in a bag, but hast cured my iniquity.
George Leo Haydock
Cured. Hebrew, “sewed up.” This method and sealing was in use to keep things of value, before locks were invented. (Calmet) — Septuagint, “thou hast noted if I had transgressed unwillingly, akon . ” Yet God will not make us accountable for what we cannot help.
