18. ‘But as a mountain erodes and crumblesand as a rock is moved from its place,
19. as water wears away stonesand torrents wash away the soil,so you destroy a person’s hope.
20. You overpower them once for all, and they are gone;you change their countenance and send them away.
21. If their children are honoured, they do not know it;if their children are brought low, they do not see it.
22. They feel but the pain of their own bodiesand mourn only for themselves.’
