Job 14:18-22
New International Reader's Version
18 “A mountain wears away and crumbles.
A rock is moved from its place.
19 Water wears away stones.
Storms wash away soil.
In the same way, you destroy a person’s hope.
20 You overpower them completely, and then they’re gone.
You change the way they look and send them to their graves.
21 If their children are honored, they don’t even know it.
If their children are dishonored, they don’t even see it.
22 All they feel is the pain of their own bodies.
They are full of sadness only for themselves.”
Job 14:18-22
New International Version
18 “But as a mountain erodes and crumbles(A)
and as a rock is moved from its place,(B)
19 as water wears away stones
and torrents(C) wash away the soil,(D)
so you destroy a person’s hope.(E)
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)”
