Job 8:11 - 8:19

« Job 7 | Job 8 | Job 9 »

11

“Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh?

Can the rushes grow without water?

12

While it is still green and not cut down,

Yet it dries up before any other plant.

13

So are the paths of all who forget God;

And the hope of the godless will perish,

14

Whose confidence is fragile,

And whose trust a spider’s web.

15

He relies on his house, but it does not stand;

He holds fast to it, but it is not established.

16

He thrives before the sun,

And his shoots go forth over his garden.

17

His roots wrap around a rock pile;

He looks upon a house of stones.

18

If He swallows him up from his place,

Then it will deny him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’

19

Behold, this is the joy of His way;

And out of the dust others will spring.
