He holds tightly to it, but it does not endure.

“He thrives and prospers [like a green plant] before the sun,
And his branches spread out over his garden.

“His [godless] roots are wrapped around a pile of rocks,
And he gazes at a house of stones.

And look for a place in the stones.

he looks upon a house of stones.
