Job 14:19-21

New International Version - UK

¹⁹ as water wears away stones
    and torrents wash away the soil,
    so you destroy a person’s hope.
²⁰ You overpower them once for all, and they are gone;
    you change their countenance and send them away.
²¹ If their children are honoured, they do not know it;
    if their children are brought low, they do not see it.
