18 “Surely the mountain falling comes to nothing,
    and the rock is removed out of its place.
19 The waters wear away the stones;
    its overflow washes away the dust of the earth;
    and You destroy the hope of man.
20 You prevail forever against him, and he passes on;
    changing his countenance, You send him away.
21 His sons come to honor, and he does not know it;
    and they are brought low, but he does not perceive it.
22 But his flesh on him will have pain,
    and his soul within him will mourn.”

20 You overpower them once for all, and they are gone;(F)
    you change their countenance and send them away.(G)
21 If their children are honored, they do not know it;
    if their offspring are brought low, they do not see it.(H)
22 They feel but the pain of their own bodies(I)
    and mourn only for themselves.(J)
