job 14:17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.

job 14:17 "My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And Thou dost wrap up my iniquity.

17. sealed up-- (Job 9:7). Is shut up in eternal oblivion, that is, God thenceforth will think no more of my former sins. To cover sins is to completely forgive them (Ps 32:1; 85:2). Purses of money in the East are usually sealed.
sewest up--rather, "coverest"; akin to an Arabic word, "to color over," to forget wholly.

job 14:17 "My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And Thou dost wrap up my iniquity.
