Job 14:19
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.
KJV
lapides excavant aquæ, et alluvione paulatim terra consumitur : et hominem ergo similiter perdes.
Vulgate
λίθους ἐλέαναν ὕδατα, καὶ κατέκλυσεν ὕδατα ὕπτια τοῦ χώματος τῆς γῆς· καὶ ὑπομονὴν ἀνθρώπου ἀπώλεσας.
LXX
The waters wear the stones; The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth: So thou destroyest the hope of man.
