18 “But the mountain falling comes to nothing.
    The rock is removed out of its place;
19 The waters wear the stones.
    The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth.
    So you destroy the hope of man.
20 You forever prevail against him, and he departs.
    You change his face, and send him away.
21 His sons come to honor, and he doesn’t know it.
    They are brought low, but he doesn’t perceive it of them.
22 But his flesh on him has pain,
    and his soul within him mourns.”

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)
