Job 8:17-19
New King James Version
17 His roots wrap around the rock heap,
And look for a place in the stones.
18 (A)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 (B)out of the earth others will grow.
Job 8:17-19

Job 8:17-19
GOD’S WORD Translation
17 Its roots weave through a pile of stones.
They cling to a stone house.
18 But when it is uprooted from its place,
⌞the ground⌟ denies it ⌞and says⌟, ‘I never saw you!’
19 That is its joy in this life,
and others sprout from the same ground to ⌞take its place⌟.
