"My transgression would be sealed up in a sack, and you would cover my iniquity." In this imagined restoration, God actively hides Job's sins—they are sealed and covered, not maintained as a permanent record. The verse suggests that divine forgetting of transgression is possible, that God might choose to not invoke the record of guilt. Yet this remains conditional on resurrection, which Job has already established is impossible.
