Job 8:13-15

Job 8:13-15
EasyEnglish Bible
13 People who turn away from God are like those plants.
Their hope quickly disappears.
14 They trust in useless things to help them.
Those things are as weak as a spider's web.[a]
15 If they expect something like that to help them,
it will fall down and leave them.
If they take hold of it,
it will not keep them safe.

13 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.
15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
