New International Version

Job 8:13-17 New International Version (NIV)

13. Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so perishes the hope of the godless.

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 around a pile of rocks and looks for a place among the stones.
