Job 8:14-22 English Standard Version (ESV)

14. His confidence is severed,and his trust is a spider’s web.

15. He leans against his 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 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 place,then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have never seen you.’

19. Behold, this is the joy of his way,and out of the soil others will spring.

20. “Behold, God will not reject a blameless man,nor take the hand of evildoers.

21. He will yet fill your mouth with laughter,and your lips with shouting.

22. Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
