Job 14:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible
18 But as a mountain erodes and crumbles and a rock is dislodged from its place,
19 as water wears away the stones and torrents wash away the soil, so You destroy a man’s hope.
20 You forever overpower him, and he passes on; You change his countenance and send him away.
21 If his sons receive honor, he does not know it; if they are brought low, he is unaware.
22 He feels only the pain of his own body and mourns only for himself.”
