18 "A mountain wears away and crumbles. A rock is moved from its place.
19 Water wears stones away. Storms wash soil away. In the same way, you destroy our hope.
20 You overpower us completely, and then we're gone. You change the way we look and send us to our graves.
21 If our children are honored, we don't even know it. If they are dishonored, we don't even see it.
22 All we feel is the pain of our own bodies. We are full of sadness only for ourselves."
