New International Version (NIV)

Or they become insignificant, and he does not perceive it.

if they are brought low, he is unaware.

21His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not;

And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.

21And he knoweth not if his sonnes shall be honourable, neither shall he vnderstand concerning them, whether they shalbe of lowe degree,

21His sons come to honor, and he doesn’t know it.

They are brought low, but he doesn’t perceive it of them.

21If their children are honored, they don’t even know it.

he does not know about it.

If they become ashamed,

he does not know that either.

21His sons are honored, and he does not know; And they are little, and he does not attend to them.
