Job 14:18-22
Revised Standard Version
18 “But the mountain falls and crumbles away,
and the rock is removed from its place;
19 the waters wear away the stones;
the torrents wash away the soil of the earth;
so thou destroyest the hope of man.
20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passes;
thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
21 His sons come to honor, and he does not know it;
they are brought low, and he perceives it not.
22 He feels only the pain of his own body,
and he mourns only for himself.”
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)”
