Job 14:18-22
Christian Standard Bible
18 But as a mountain collapses and crumbles
and a rock is dislodged from its place,
19 as water wears away stones
and torrents wash away the soil from the land,
so you destroy a man’s hope.(A)
20 You completely overpower him, and he passes on;
you change his appearance and send him away.
21 If his sons receive honor, he does not know it;
if they become insignificant, he is unaware of it.(B)
22 He feels only the pain of his own body
and mourns only for himself.
Job 14:18-22
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
18 “But the mountain falls and crumbles away,
and the rock is removed from its place;(A)
19 the waters wear away the stones;
the torrents wash away the soil of the earth;
so you destroy the hope of mortals.
20 You prevail forever against them, and they pass away;
you change their countenance and send them away.(B)
21 Their children come to honor, and they do not know it;
they are brought low, and it goes unnoticed.(C)
22 They feel only the pain of their own bodies
and mourn only for themselves.”
