Job 8:15 in context

Job 8:12–18

12

While it is yet in its greenness, not cut down,

it withers before any other reed.

13

So are the paths of all who forget God.

The hope of the godless man will perish,

14

whose confidence will break apart,

whose trust is a spider’s web.

15
Selected verse

He will lean on his house, but it will not stand.

He will cling to it, but it will not endure.

16

He is green before the sun.

His shoots go out along his garden.

17

His roots are wrapped around the rock pile.

He sees the place of stones.

18

If he is destroyed from his place,

then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’
