Job 14:19

אֲבָנִ֣ים שָׁ֭חֲקוּ מַ֣יִם תִּשְׁטֹֽף סְפִיחֶ֗יהָ עֲפַ֣ר אָ֭רֶץ וְתִקְוַ֥ת אֱנ֗וֹשׁ הֶאֱבַֽדְתָּ׃
ʾabaniym shaḥaqv mayim tishṭof spiyḥeyha ʿapar ʾareṣ vtiqvat ʾenvosh heʾebadta
King James Version (KJV)

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.

Modern English

the waters wear away the stones; the torrents wash away the soil of the earth; so you destroy the hope of man.
