God's Relentless Destruction of Man's Hope

Job 14:18-22

But as a mountain erodes and crumbles and a rock is dislodged from its place,

as water wears away the stones and torrents wash away the soil, so You destroy a man’s hope.

You forever overpower him, and he passes on; You change his countenance and send him away.

If his sons receive honor, he does not know it; if they are brought low, he is unaware.

He feels only the pain of his own body and mourns only for himself.”
