Job 14:19-21

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁹ Water flowing over stones wears them down.
    Floods wash away the soil on the ground.
    In the same way, God, you destroy the hope people have.
²⁰ You defeat them completely
    and then they are gone.
You change the way they look
    and send them away forever to the place of death.
²¹ If their sons are honored, they will never know it.
    If their sons do wrong, they will never see it.
