Job 14:18-22
World English Bible
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.”
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.”
