Job 14:20 — Meaning and Application

And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place. {cometh...: Heb. fadeth}

The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow {out} of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man. {washest...: Heb. overflowest}

Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.

His sons come to honour, and he knoweth {it} not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth {it} not of them.

But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
