Job 8:11-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 “Can papyrus grow where there is no marsh?
Can reeds flourish where there is no water?
12 While yet in flower and not cut down,
they wither before any other plant.(A)
13 Such are the paths of all who forget God;
the hope of the godless shall perish.(B)
14 Their confidence is gossamer,
a spider’s house their trust.
15 If one leans against its house, it will not stand;
if one lays hold of it, it will not endure.(C)
16 The wicked thrive[a] before the sun,
and their shoots spread over the garden.(D)
17 Their roots twine around the stoneheap;
they live among the rocks.[b]
18 If they are destroyed from their place,
then it will deny them, saying, ‘I have never seen you.’(E)
19 See, these are their happy ways,[c]
and out of the earth still others will spring.
Job 8:11-19
English Standard Version
11 “Can papyrus grow where there is no marsh?
Can reeds flourish where there is no water?
12 While yet in flower and not cut down,
they (A)wither before any other plant.
13 Such are the paths of all who (B)forget God;
(C)the hope of (D)the godless shall perish.
14 His confidence is severed,
and his trust is (E)a spider's web.[a]
15 He leans against his (F)house, but it does not stand;
he lays hold of it, but it does not endure.
16 He is a lush plant before the sun,
and his (G)shoots spread over his garden.
17 His roots entwine the stone heap;
he looks upon a house of stones.
18 If he is destroyed from his (H)place,
then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have never (I)seen you.’
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way,
and out of (J)the soil others will spring.
