18 “But the mountain falls and crumbles away,

and the rock is removed from its place;

19 the waters wear away the stones;

the torrents wash away the soil of the earth;

so you destroy the hope of man.

18 And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought,

And the rock is removed out of his place.

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.

18 “But instead, as mountains fall and crumble

and as rocks fall from a cliff,

19 as water wears away the stones

and floods wash away the soil,

so you destroy people’s hope.

18 “But as a mountain falls and crumbles away,

And as a rock is moved from its place;

19 As water wears away stones,

And as torrents wash away the soil of the earth;

So You destroy the hope of man.

18 “A mountain washes away and crumbles;

and a rock can be moved from its place.

19 Water washes over stones and wears them down,

and rushing waters wash away the dirt.

In the same way, you destroy hope.

18 But the mountain falling cometh to nought;

And the rock is removed out of its place;

19 The waters wear the stones;

The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth:

So thou destroyest the hope of man.

18 And indeed a mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of its place; 19 The waters wear the stones, the floods thereof wash away the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.

18 As surely as a mountain falls 

and rocks are dislodged, 

19 ⸤so⸥ water wears away stone, 

floods wash away soil from the land, 

and you destroy a mortal’s hope. 

18 But as a mountain collapses and crumbles

and a rock is dislodged from its place,

19 as water wears away stones

and torrents wash away the soil from the land,

so You destroy a man’s hope.

18 “But the mountain falls and crumbles away,

and the rock is removed from its place;

19 the waters wear away the stones;

the torrents wash away the soil of the earth;

so you destroy the hope of mortals.

18 “But a mountain falls; it crumbles away,

and a rock moves away from its place.

19 Water wears away stones;

its torrents wash away the soil of the earth;

so you destroy the hope of human beings.

18 “A mountain wears away and crumbles.

A rock is moved from its place.

19 Water wears stones away.

Storms wash soil away.

In the same way, you destroy our hope.

18 “But the falling mountain crumbles away,

And the rock moves from its place;

19 Water wears away stones,

Its torrents wash away the dust of the earth;

So You destroy man’s hope.
