Job 14:16-22 ▼

16 For now You number my steps, You do not keep watch over my sin.

17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And You cover up my iniquity.

18 “But the falling mountain crumbles away, And the rock moves from its place;

19 Water wears away stones; Its torrents wash away the dust of the earth; So You make man’s hope perish.

20 You forever overpower him and he goes away; You alter his appearance and send him away.

21 His sons achieve honor, but he does not know it; Or they become insignificant, but he does not perceive it.

22 But his flesh pains him, And he mourns only for himself.”
