Job 14:17-19

Revised Standard Version

¹⁷my transgression would be sealed up in a bag,
and thou wouldest cover over my iniquity.

¹⁸“But the mountain falls and crumbles away,
    and the rock is removed from its place;
¹⁹the waters wear away the stones;
    the torrents wash away the soil of the earth;
    so thou destroyest the hope of man.
