Job 14:20

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.

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.”

As no man has power over the wind to contain it, so no one has authority over his day of death. As no one can be discharged in wartime, so wickedness will not release those who practice it.
