19 as water wears away stones

and torrents wash away the soil,

so you destroy a person’s hope.

19 the waters wear away the stones;

the torrents wash away the soil of the earth;

so you destroy the hope of man.

19 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.

19 as water wears away the stones

and floods wash away the soil,

so you destroy people’s hope.

19 As water wears away stones,

And as torrents wash away the soil of the earth;

So You destroy the hope of man.

19 Water washes over stones and wears them down,

and rushing waters wash away the dirt.

In the same way, you destroy hope.

19 The waters wear the stones;

The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth:

So thou destroyest the hope of man.

19 The waters wear the stones, the floods thereof wash away the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.

19 ⸤so⸥ water wears away stone, 

floods wash away soil from the land, 

and you destroy a mortal’s hope. 

19 as water wears away stones

and torrents wash away the soil from the land,

so You destroy a man’s hope.

19 the waters wear away the stones;

the torrents wash away the soil of the earth;

so you destroy the hope of mortals.

19 Water wears away stones;

its torrents wash away the soil of the earth;

so you destroy the hope of human beings.

19 Water wears stones away.

Storms wash soil away.

In the same way, you destroy our hope.
