His sons come to honor, and he does not know it; they are brought low, and he does not see it.
In context
19water wears down stones, its torrents wash away the soil of the earth — and so you destroy the hope of a mortal. 20You overpower him for good, and he goes; you change his face and send him away. 21His sons come to honor, and he does not know it; they are brought low, and he does not see it. 22Only his own flesh feels its pain, and his own soul mourns for him.
