Job 8:11-19
New American Standard Bible 1995
11 “Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh?
Can the rushes grow without water?
12 “While it is still green and not cut down,
Yet it withers before any other [a]plant.
13 “So are the paths of (A)all who forget God;
And the (B)hope of the godless will perish,
14 Whose confidence is fragile,
And whose trust a (C)spider’s [b]web.
15 “He [c]trusts in his (D)house, but it does not stand;
He holds fast to it, but it does not endure.
16 “He [d](E)thrives before the sun,
And his (F)shoots spread out over his garden.
17 “His roots wrap around a rock pile,
He [e]grasps a house of stones.
18 “If he is [f]removed from (G)his place,
Then it will deny him, saying, ‘(H)I never saw you.’
19 “Behold, (I)this is the joy of His way;
And out of the dust others will spring.

13 So are the paths of (A)all who forget God;

And whose trust a (C)spider’s [b]web.
15 He relies on his (D)house, but it does not stand;
He holds fast to it, but it is not established.
16 He [c](E)thrives before the sun,
And his (F)shoots go forth over his garden.
17 His roots wrap around a rock pile;
He looks upon a house of stones.
18 If He swallows him up from (G)his place,
Then it will deny him, saying, ‘(H)I never saw you.’
19 Behold, (I)this is the joy of [d]His way;
And out of the dust others will spring.

11 “Can papyrus grow tall without a marsh?
Can the rushes grow without water?
12 While it is still green and not cut down,
Yet it withers before any other [a]plant.
13 So are the paths of (A)all who forget God;
And the (B)hope of the godless will perish,
14 His confidence is fragile,
And his trust is a (C)spider’s [b]web.
15 He depends on his (D)house, but it does not stand;
He holds on to it, but it does not endure.
16 He (E)flourishes before the sun,
And his (F)shoots spread out over his garden.
17 His roots wrap around a rock pile,
He [c]grasps a house of stones.
18 If he is [d]removed from (G)his place,
Then it will deny him, saying, ‘(H)I never saw you.’
19 Behold, (I)this is the joy of His way;
And out of the dust others will spring.
