Job 8:8-19
8Please inquire of past generations and consider the discoveries of their fathers.9For we were born yesterday and know nothing; our days on earth are but a shadow.10Will they not teach you and tell you, and speak from their understanding?11Does papyrus grow where there is no marsh? Do reeds flourish without water?12While the shoots are still uncut, they dry up more quickly than grass.
13Such is the destiny of all who forget God;so the hope of the godless will perish.14His confidence is fragile;his security is in a spider’s web.15He leans on his web, but it gives way;he holds fast, but it does not endure.16He is a well-watered plant in the sunshine,spreading its shoots over the garden.17His roots wrap around the rock heap;he looks for a home among the stones.18If he is uprooted from his place,it will disown him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’19Surely this is the joy of his way;yet others will spring from the dust.
