18. And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of its place;
19. The waters wear the stones; the overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth: and thou destroyest the hope of man.
20. Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth; thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
21. His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
22. But his flesh upon him hath pain, and his soul within him mourneth.
