Job 14:20

You forever overpower him, and he passes on; You change his countenance and send him away.

Job 14:20 · BSB

Job 14:20 in context

The verses around it, from Job 14.

16 For then You would count my steps, but would not keep track of my sin.

17 My transgression would be sealed in a bag, and You would cover over my iniquity.

18 But as a mountain erodes and crumbles and a rock is dislodged from its place,

19 as water wears away the stones and torrents wash away the soil, so You destroy a man’s hope.

20 You forever overpower him, and he passes on; You change his countenance and send him away.

21 If his sons receive honor, he does not know it; if they are brought low, he is unaware.

22 He feels only the pain of his own body and mourns only for himself.”
