Job 14:18-22

Common English Bible

¹⁸ But an eroding mountain breaks up,
    and rock is displaced.
¹⁹ Water wears away boulders;
    floods carry away soil;
    you destroy a people’s hope.
²⁰ You overpower them relentlessly, and they die;
    you change their appearance and send them away.
²¹ Their children achieve honor, and they don’t know it;
    their children become insignificant, and they don’t see it.
²² They only feel the pain of their body,
    and they mourn for themselves.
