Job 8:11-19

New King James Version

¹¹ “Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh?
Can the reeds flourish without water?
^12 (A)While it is yet green and not cut down,
It withers before any other plant.
¹³ So are the paths of all who ^(B)forget God;
And the hope of the ^(C)hypocrite shall perish,
¹⁴ Whose confidence shall be cut off,
And whose trust is ^[a]a spider’s web.
^15 (D)He leans on his house, but it does not stand.
He holds it fast, but it does not endure.
¹⁶ He grows green in the sun,
And his branches spread out in his garden.
¹⁷ His roots wrap around the rock heap,
And look for a place in the stones.
^18 (E)If he is destroyed from his place,
Then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’

¹⁹ “Behold, this is the joy of His way,
And ^(F)out of the earth others will grow.
