18 “But the mountain falls and (A)crumbles away,
    and (B)the rock is removed from its place;
19 the waters wear away the stones;
    the torrents wash away the soil of the earth;
    so you destroy the hope of man.
20 You prevail forever against him, and he passes;
    you change his countenance, and send him away.
21 His sons come to honor, and he (C)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.”

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)
