The waters wear the stones; The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth: So thou destroyest the hope of man.

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.

Τα υδατα τρωγουσι τας πετρας· αι πλημμυραι αυτων παρασυρουσι το χωμα της γης· ουτω συ καταστρεφεις την ελπιδα του ανθρωπου,

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.
