15. He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand; he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
16. Like a tree, he is green before the sun, and his branches go forth over his garden;
17. his roots weave themselves around a spring and secure themselves even in a stony place.
18. If he is uprooted from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.
