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.”
Job 14:18-22
Revised Standard Version
18 “But the mountain falls and crumbles away,
and the rock is removed from its place;
19 the waters wear away the stones;
the torrents wash away the soil of the earth;
so thou destroyest the hope of man.
20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passes;
thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
21 His sons come to honor, and he 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.”
