Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)

¹⁶他像阳光下生机勃勃的植物，
枝条爬满了园囿，

深深扎入石缝。
¹⁸一旦他被连根拔起，
原处必否认见过他。

And his branches spread out in his garden.

Job 8:16-18

New International Version

¹⁶They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine,
    spreading its shoots^(A) over the garden;^(B)
¹⁷it entwines its roots around a pile of rocks
    and looks for a place among the stones.
¹⁸But when it is torn from its spot,
    that place disowns^(C) it and says, ‘I never saw you.’^(D)
