Job 14:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 14:20
God's power overwhelms human resistance: 'Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.' The Hebrew 'takeph' (prevail) suggests overpowering strength—humans cannot resist divine power. The changed countenance may refer to death's effects or the shame of defeat. Humans 'pass away'—they're transient before eternal God. This stark realism about human powerlessness before God prepares for later hope in divine mercy.
