Job 8:13-18

13The same thing happens to all who forget God. The hope of the godless dies.

14His confidence is easily shattered. His trust is a spider’s web.

15If one leans on his house, it collapses. If one holds on to it, it will not support his weight.

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

17Its roots weave through a pile of stones. They cling to a stone house.

18But when it is uprooted from its place, ⌞the ground⌟ denies it ⌞and says⌟, ‘I never saw you!’
