God's Relentless Destruction of Man's Hope

Job 14:18-22

But the mountain falling cometh to nought; And the rock is removed out of its place;

The waters wear the stones; The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth: So thou destroyest the hope of man.

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

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

But his flesh upon him hath pain, And his soul within him mourneth.
