New International Version

Job 14:18-22 New International Version (NIV)

18. “But as a mountain erodes and crumbles and as a rock is moved from its place,

19. as water wears away stones and torrents wash away the soil, so you destroy a person’s hope.

20. You overpower them once for all, and they are gone; you change their countenance and send them away.

21. If their children are honored, they do not know it; if their offspring are brought low, they do not see it.

22. They feel but the pain of their own bodies and mourn only for themselves.”
