Context — Job's Reflection on Mortalitygenerated
Job 14:18 presents a stark image of nature's erosion to highlight the human experience of decay and loss. Job contemplates how, just as mountains and rocks undergo change, so too does human life face inevitable decline. This meditation is part of a larger discourse on suffering, mortality, and the hope of restoration found in God, as Job grapples with his own afflictions and the nature of existence.

The Key Word — יִבּ֑וֹל, yi.Bolgenerated
The verb נָבַל (nabal) means 'to wither' or 'to fade away.' It conveys a sense of decline, whether physical or moral. In this context, it emphasizes the fragility of life, suggesting that just as mountains erode and crumble, so too does human strength diminish over time.
The parsing indicates that this is an imperfect third person masculine singular verb, suggesting an ongoing action or state. Job uses this term to reflect on the natural process of decay, drawing a parallel to the transitory nature of human existence.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is governed by the conjunction וְ֭אוּלָם, but, which introduces a contrast. The structure follows with two clauses describing the actions of a mountain and a rock, emphasizing the inevitability of change.
The finite verb יִבּ֑וֹל (it crumbles away) serves as a focal point, with the subject צ֗וּר (a rock) and another verb יֶעְתַּ֥ק (it moves) completing the thought. This structure highlights the relationship between the elements of nature and the human experience.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates וְ֭אוּלָם as πλὴν (but), maintaining the adversative function of the original Hebrew. This choice underscores the contrast Job is making between the permanence of nature and the impermanence of human life.
The Greek word πῖπτον corresponds to נָפַל (to fall), emphasizing the same themes of decline and erosion found in the Hebrew text.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text aligns with the Septuagint in its wording, with 7 of the 7 words matched. The Dead Sea Scrolls — 4Q101 show some restoration, with one word partly restored and six supplied entirely by an editor, indicating some textual preservation but also gaps.
וְ֭אוּלָם הַר־ נוֹפֵ֣ל יִבּ֑וֹל וְ֝צ֗וּר יֶעְתַּ֥ק מִמְּקֹמֽוֹ׃
7 of the 7 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.
