Job 14:18-22
New American Standard Bible
18 “But the falling mountain [a]crumbles away,
And the rock moves from its place;
19 Water wears away stones,
Its torrents wash away the dust of the earth;
So You (A)destroy a man’s hope.
20 You forever overpower him and he (B)departs;
You change his appearance and send him away.
21 His sons achieve honor, but (C)he does not know it;
Or they become insignificant, and he does not perceive it.
22 However, his [b]body pains him,
And his soul mourns for himself.”
Job 14:18-22
American Standard Version
18 But the mountain falling [a]cometh to nought;
And the rock is removed out of its place;
19 The waters wear the stones;
The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth:
So thou destroyest the hope of man.
20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth;
Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
21 His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not;
And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
22 [b]But his flesh upon him hath pain,
And his soul within him mourneth.
