Job 8:16-19

16He is a well-watered plant in the sunshine; his shoots spread out over his garden.

17His roots are intertwined around a pile of rocks. He looks for a home among the stones.

18If he is uprooted from his place, it will deny knowing him, saying, “I never saw you.”

19Surely this is the joy of his way of life; yet others will sprout from the dust.
