Job 8:11-19
New King James Version
11 “Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh?
Can the reeds flourish without water?
12 (A)While it is yet green and not cut down,
It withers before any other plant.
13 So are the paths of all who (B)forget God;
And the hope of the (C)hypocrite shall perish,
14 Whose confidence shall be cut off,
And whose trust is [a]a spider’s web.
15 (D)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.
17 His roots wrap around the rock heap,
And look for a place in the stones.
18 (E)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 (F)out of the earth others will grow.

Job 8:11-19
American Standard Version
11 Can the [a]rush grow up without mire?
Can the [b]flag grow without water?
12 Whilst it is yet in its greenness, and not cut down,
It withereth before any other herb.
13 So are the paths of all that forget God;
And the hope of the godless man shall perish:
14 Whose confidence shall [c]break in sunder,
And whose trust is a spider’s [d]web.
15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand:
He shall hold fast thereby, but it shall not endure.
16 He is green before the sun,
And his shoots go forth over his garden.
17 His roots are wrapped [e]about the stone-heap,
He beholdeth the place of stones.
18 If he be destroyed from his place,
Then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way;
And out of the [f]earth shall others spring.
