20You overpower us completely, and then we’re gone.
You change the way we look and send us to our graves.
21If our children are honored, we don’t even know it.
If they are dishonored, we don’t even see it.
22All we feel is the pain of our own bodies.
We are full of sadness only for ourselves.”

ESVEnglish Standard Version
You prevail forever against him, and he passes;
you change his countenance, and send him away.
His sons come to honor, and he does not know it;
they are brought low, and he perceives it not.
He feels only the pain of his own body,
and he mourns only for himself.”
Copyright 2001 Crossway Bibles
NIVNew International Version (2011)
You overpower them once for all, and they are gone;
you change their countenance and send them away.
If their children are honored, they do not know it;
if their offspring are brought low, they do not see it.
They feel but the pain of their own bodies
and mourn only for themselves.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible
You completely overpower him, and he passes on;
you change his appearance and send him away.
If his sons receive honor, he does not know it;
if they become insignificant, he is unaware of it.
He feels only the pain of his own body
and mourns only for himself.

NLTNew Living Translation
You always overpower them, and they pass from the scene.
You disfigure them in death and send them away.
They never know if their children grow up in honor
or sink to insignificance.
They suffer painfully;
their life is full of trouble.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
You overpower him forever, and he passes away;
you change his countenance, then you send him away.
His children may come to honor, but he does not know it;
or they may become lowly, but he does not realize it.
He feels only the pain of his own body,
and his inner self mourns for him.”

KJV 1900King James Version
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.
