¹⁹ The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.

¹⁸ They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.

¹¹ Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.

¹⁶ Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:

⁵ Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
