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
New King James Version
18 “But as a mountain falls and crumbles away,
And as a rock is moved from its place;
19 As water wears away stones,
And as torrents wash away the soil of the earth;
So You destroy the hope of man.
20 You prevail forever against him, and he passes on;
You change his countenance and send him away.
21 His sons come to honor, and (A)he does not know it;
They are brought low, and he does not perceive it.
22 But his flesh will be in pain over it,
And his soul will mourn over it.”
