Bible verse
If his sons receive honor, he does not know it; if they are brought low, he is unaware.
Job 14:21 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 14.
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.”
KJV

ERV
His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
