Job 8:8-19
8PleaseH4994H3588 inquireH7592 of pastH7223 generationsH1755 and considerH3559 the discoveriesH2714 of their fathersH1.9ForH3588 weH587 were born yesterdayH8543 and knowH3045H3588 nothingH3808; our daysH3117 onH5921 earthH776 are but a shadowH6738.10Will theyH1992 notH3808 teach youH3384 and tellH559 you, and speakH3318H4405 from their understandingH3820?11Does papyrusH1573 growH1342 where there is noH3808 marshH1207? Do reedsH260 flourishH7685 withoutH1097 waterH4325?12WhileH5750 the shootsH3 are still uncutH3808H6998, they dry upH3001 more quickly thanH6440 grassH3605H2682.
13SuchH3651 is the destinyH734 of allH3605 who forgetH7911 GodH410;so the hopeH8615 of the godlessH2611 will perishH6.14HisH834 confidenceH3689 is fragileH6990;his securityH4009 is in a spider’sH5908 webH1004.15He leansH8172 onH5921 his webH1004, but it gives wayH3808H5975;he holds fastH2388, but it does notH3808 endureH6965.16HeH1931 is a well-watered plantH7373 inH6440 the sunshineH8121,spreadingH3318 its shootsH3127 overH5921 the gardenH1593.17His rootsH8328 wrapH5440 aroundH5921 the rock heapH1530;he looks forH2372 a home amongH1004 the stonesH68.18IfH518 he is uprootedH1104 from his placeH4725,it will disownH3584 him, saying, ‘I neverH3808 saw youH7200.’19SurelyH2005 thisH1931 is the joyH4885 of his wayH1870;yet othersH312 will springH6779 from the dustH6083.
