Parallel
Job 14:19
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
The waters wear the stones: thou washest away (note: Heb. overflowest) the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
as water wears away the stones and torrents wash away the soil, so You destroy a man’s hope.
