13. People who forget God are like that. Those who oppose him have no hope.
14. They have put their trust in something weak. It is like a spider’s web.
15. When they lean against it, it will break. When they reach out for it, it will not hold them up.

17. Its roots spread among the rocks, searching for good soil.

19. Everything might have been going well, but another vine will take its place.
20. God does not support evil people, and he does not abandon the innocent.
21. So perhaps you might laugh again. Maybe shouts of joy will come from your lips.
