Job 14:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ “A mountain wears away and crumbles.
    A rock is moved from its place.
¹⁹ Water wears away stones.
    Storms wash away soil.
    In the same way, you destroy a person’s hope.
²⁰ You overpower them completely, and then they’re gone.
    You change the way they look and send them to their graves.
