14. What they trust in is fragile;what they rely on is a spider’s web.
15. They lean on the web, but it gives way;they cling to it, but it does not hold.
16. They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine,spreading its shoots over the garden;
17. it entwines its roots round a pile of rocksand looks for a place among the stones.
18. But when it is torn from its spot,that place disowns it and says, “I never saw you.”
19. Surely its life withers away,and from the soil other plants grow.
20. ‘Surely God does not reject one who is blamelessor strengthen the hands of evildoers.
21. He will yet fill your mouth with laughterand your lips with shouts of joy.
