Job 14:18-22

International Children’s Bible

¹⁸ “A mountain washes away and crumbles.
    And a rock can be moved from its place.
¹⁹ Water washes over stones and wears them down.
    And rushing waters wash away the dirt.
    In the same way, you destroy hope.
²⁰ You defeat man forever, and he is gone.
    You change his appearance and send him away.
²¹ His sons are honored, but he does not know it.
    His sons are disgraced, but he does not see it.
²² He only feels the pain of his body.
    And he feels sorry only for himself.”
