Job 14:19-21

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁹ the waters wear away the stones;
    the torrents wash away the soil of the earth;
    so you destroy the hope of mortals.
²⁰ You prevail for ever against them, and they pass away;
    you change their countenance, and send them away.
²¹ Their children come to honour, and they do not know it;
    they are brought low, and it goes unnoticed.
