Job 8:13-18

13The same happens to all who forget God. The hopes of the godless evaporate.

14Their confidence hangs by a thread. They are leaning on a spider’s web.

15They cling to their home for security, but it won’t last. They try to hold it tight, but it will not endure.

16The godless seem like a lush plant growing in the sunshine, its branches spreading across the garden.

17Its roots grow down through a pile of stones; it takes hold on a bed of rocks.

18But when it is uprooted, it’s as though it never existed!
