11“Can the papyrusH1573 growH1342 up withoutH3808 a marshH1207? Can the rushesH260 growH7685 withoutH1097 waterH4325?12While it is stillH5750 greenH3 and not cutH6998 downH6998, Yet it withersH3001 beforeH6440 anyH3605 other 1plantH2682.13SoH3651 are the pathsH734 of 2allH3605 whoH7911 forgetH7911 GodH410; And the 3hopeH8615 of the godlessH2611 will perishH6,14WhoseH834 confidenceH3689 is fragileH6962, And whose trustH4009 a 4spider’sH5908 5webH1004.15He 6trustsH8172 in his 7houseH1004, but it does not standH5975; He holdsH2388 fastH2388 to it, but it does not endureH6965.16He 89thrivesH7373 beforeH6440 the sunH8121, And his 10shootsH3127 spreadH3318 out overH5921 his gardenH1593.17His rootsH8328 wrapH5440 aroundH5440 a rockH1530 pileH1530, He 11graspsH270 a houseH1004 of stonesH68.18IfH518 he is 12removedH1104 from 13his placeH4725, Then it will denyH3584 him, saying, ‘14I neverH3808 sawH7200 you.’19BeholdH2005, 15thisH1931 is the joyH4885 of His wayH1870; And out of the dustH6083 othersH312 will springH6779.20LoH2005, 16GodH410 will not rejectH3988 a man of integrityH8535, NorH3808 17will He 18supportH2388H3027 the evildoersH7489.21He will yetH5704 fillH4390 19your mouthH6310 with laughterH7814 And your lipsH8193 with shoutingH8643.22Those who hateH8130 you will be 20clothedH3847 with shameH1322, And the 21tentH168 of the wickedH7563 will be noH369 longer.”
