Bible in Basic English
"His sons come to honour, and he has no knowledge of it; they are made low, but he is not conscious of it."
— Job 14:21, Bible in Basic English
“If his sons are honored, he does not know it; if they are brought low, he does not see it.”
But truly a mountain falling comes to dust, and a rock is moved from its place;
The stones are crushed small by the force of the waters; the dust of the earth is washed away by their overflowing: and so you put an end to the hope of man.
You overcome him for ever, and he is gone; his face is changed in death, and you send him away.
His sons come to honour, and he has no knowledge of it; they are made low, but he is not conscious of it.
Only his flesh still has pain, and his soul is sad.
