14. His confidence is but a gossamer thread,his trust is a spider’s house.
15. He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand;he shall cling to it, but it shall not endure.
16. He thrives in full sun,and over his garden his shoots go forth;
17. About a heap of stones his roots are entwined;among the rocks he takes hold.
18. Yet if one tears him from his place,it will disown him: “I have never seen you!”
19. There he lies rotting beside the road,and out of the soil another sprouts.
