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.”

18 “But instead, as mountains fall and crumble
    and as rocks fall from a cliff,
19 as water wears away the stones
    and floods wash away the soil,
    so you destroy people’s hope.
20 You always overpower them, and they pass from the scene.
    You disfigure them in death and send them away.
21 They never know if their children grow up in honor
    or sink to insignificance.
22 They suffer painfully;
    their life is full of trouble.”
