Job 14:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ The waters wear away the stones;
    its overflow washes away the dust of the earth;
    and You destroy the hope of man.
²⁰ You prevail forever against him, and he passes on;
    changing his countenance, You send him away.
²¹ His sons come to honor, and he does not know it;
    and they are brought low, but he does not perceive it.
