Job 8:11-19

11"Can papyrus grow where there is no marsh? Can reeds flourish where there is no water?

12While yet in flower and not cut down, they wither before any other plant.

13Such are the paths of all who forget God; the hope of the godless shall perish.

14His confidence is severed, and his trust is a spider's web.

15He leans against his house, but it does not stand; he lays hold of it, but it does not endure.

16He is a lush plant before the sun, and his shoots spread over his garden.

17His roots entwine the stone heap; he looks upon a house of stones.

18If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, 'I have never seen you.'

19Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the soil others will spring.
