Job 8:13-18

13Such is the destiny of all who forget God; the hope of the godless perishes,

14whose trust is in something futile, whose security is a spider’s web.

15He leans against his house but it does not hold up, he takes hold of it but it does not stand.

16He is a well-watered plant in the sun, its shoots spread over its garden.

17It wraps its roots around a heap of stones and it looks for a place among stones.

18If he is uprooted from his place, then that place will disown him, saying, ‘I have never seen you!’
