Job 14:18-22
New International Version
18 “But as a mountain erodes and crumbles(A)
and as a rock is moved from its place,(B)
19 as water wears away stones
and torrents(C) wash away the soil,(D)
so you destroy a person’s hope.(E)
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)”
Job 14:18-22
Common English Bible
God crushes hope
18 But an eroding mountain breaks up,
and rock is displaced.
19 Water wears away boulders;
floods carry away soil;
you destroy a people’s hope.
20 You overpower them relentlessly, and they die;
you change their appearance and send them away.
21 Their children achieve honor, and they don’t know it;
their children become insignificant, and they don’t see it.
22 They only feel the pain of their body,
and they mourn for themselves.
