Commentary on Job 14:19
Water's power to wear away stone illustrates relentless erosion: 'The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth.' Patient, persistent water eventually wears down hard rock—a process Job observes in wadis and rivers. Similarly, suffering gradually erodes human hope and strength. The imagery is both natural observation and spiritual metaphor: persistent trials wear down even strong faith without divine intervention.
