New King James Version

Job 14:18-22 New King James Version (NKJV)

18. “But as a mountain falls and crumbles away,And as a rock is moved from its place;

19. As water wears away stones,And as torrents wash away the soil of the earth;So You destroy the hope of man.

20. You prevail forever against him, and he passes on;You change his countenance and send him away.

21. His sons come to honor, and he does not know it;They are brought low, and he does not perceive it.

22. But his flesh will be in pain over it,And his soul will mourn over it.”
