Job 8:11-19
11“Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the rushes grow without water?12While it is still green and not cut down, Yet it withers before any other 1plant.13So are the paths of 2all who forget God; And the 3hope of the godless will perish,14Whose confidence is fragile, And whose trust a 4spider’s 5web.15He 6trusts in his 7house, but it does not stand; He holds fast to it, but it does not endure.16He 89thrives before the sun, And his 10shoots spread out over his garden.17His roots wrap around a rock pile, He 11grasps a house of stones.18If he is 12removed from 13his place, Then it will deny him, saying, ‘14I never saw you.’19Behold, 15this is the joy of His way; And out of the dust others will spring.
