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 perishH6,14HisH834 confidenceH3689 is fragileH6962, And his trustH4009 is a 4spider’sH5908 5webH1004.15He dependsH8172 on his 6houseH1004, but it does not standH5975; He holdsH2388 onH2388 to it, but it does not endureH6965.16He 7flourishesH7373 beforeH6440 the sunH8121, And his 8shootsH3127 spreadH3318 outH3318 overH5921 his gardenH1593.17His rootsH8328 wrapH5440 aroundH5440 a rockH1530 pileH1530, He 9graspsH270 a houseH1004 of stonesH68.18IfH518 he is 10removedH1104 from 11his placeH4725, Then it will denyH3584 him, saying, ‘12I neverH3808 sawH7200 you.’19BeholdH2005, 13thisH1931 is the joyH4885 of His wayH1870; And out of the dustH6083 othersH312 will springH6779.
