Job 14:21 in Context — Job 14

19 E a água desgasta as pedras, e as enxurradas levam o pó da terra, assim também tu fazes perecer a esperança do homem.

20 Sempre prevaleces contra ele, e ele passa; tu mudas o aspecto de seu rosto, e o despedes.

21 Se seus filhos vierem a ter honra, ele não saberá; se forem humilhados, ele não perceberá.

22 Ele apenas sente as dores em sua própria carne, e lamenta por sua própria alma.
