Job 8:8-19

8For enquireH7592, I pray thee, of the formerH7223 ageH1755, and prepareH3559 thyself to the searchH2714 of their fathersH1:

9(For we are but of yesterdayH8543, and knowH3045 nothing, because our daysH3117 upon earthH776 are a shadowH6738:)1

10Shall not they teachH3384 thee, and tellH559 thee, and utterH3318 wordsH4405 out of their heartH3820?

11Can the rushH1573 grow upH1342 without mireH1207? canH7685 the flagH260 growH7685 withoutH1097 waterH4325?

12Whilst it is yet in his greennessH3, and not cut downH6998, it witherethH3001 beforeH6440 any other herbH2682.

13So are the pathsH734 of all that forgetH7911 GodH410; and the hypocrite’sH2611 hopeH8615 shall perishH6:

14Whose hopeH3689 shall be cut offH6990, and whose trustH4009 shall be a spider’sH5908 webH1004.2

15He shall leanH8172 upon his houseH1004, but it shall not standH5975: he shall holdH2388 it fast, but it shall not endureH6965.

16He is greenH7373 beforeH6440 the sunH8121, and his branchH3127 shooteth forthH3318 in his gardenH1593.

17His rootsH8328 are wrapped aboutH5440 the heapH1530, and seethH2372 the placeH1004 of stonesH68.

18If he destroyH1104 him from his placeH4725, then it shall denyH3584 him, saying, I have not seenH7200 thee.

19Behold, this is the joyH4885 of his wayH1870, and out of the earthH6083 shall othersH312 growH6779.
