Job 8:14-16
Contemporary English Version
Job 8:14-16
Contemporary English Version
14 and trust in something as frail
as a spider's web—
15 they take hold and fall
because it's so flimsy.
16 Sinful people are like plants
with spreading roots and plenty
of sun and water.
Job 8:14-16
New King James Version
Job 8:14-16
New King James Version
14 Whose confidence shall be cut off,
And whose trust is [a]a spider’s web.
15 (A)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.
