19 Las piedras son desgastadas con el agua impetuosa, que se lleva el polvo de la tierra: de tal manera haces tú perecer la esperanza del hombre.

20 Para siempre serás más fuerte que él, y él se va; demudarás su rostro, y enviaráslo.

21 Sus hijos serán honrados, y él no lo sabrá; ó serán humillados, y no entenderá de ellos.

22 Mas su carne sobre él se dolerá, y entristecerse ha en él su alma.
