Job 8:13-18

NSB(i) 13 »Such is the destiny of all who forget God. The hope of the godless will perish. 14 »What he trusts in is fragile and what he relies on is like a spider’s web. 15 »He leans on his web, but it gives way! He clings to it, but it does not hold. 16 »He is like a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden. 17 »It entwines its roots around a pile of rocks and looks for a place among the stones. 18 »When it is torn from its spot, that place disowns it and says: ‘I never saw you.’
