Good News Bible

Job 14:17-22 Good News Bible (GNB)

17. You will forgive them and put them away;you will wipe out all the wrongs I have done.

18. There comes a time when mountains falland solid cliffs are moved away.

19. Water will wear down rocks,and heavy rain will wash away the soil;so you destroy our hope for life.

20. You overpower someone and send him away for ever;his face is twisted in death.

21. His sons win honour, but he never knows it,nor is he told when they are disgraced.

22. He feels only the pain of his own bodyand the grief of his own mind.
