14. Their confidence hangs by a thread.They are leaning on a spider’s web.
15. They cling to their home for security, but it won’t last.They try to hold it tight, but it will not endure.
16. The godless seem like a lush plant growing in the sunshine,its branches spreading across the garden.
17. Its roots grow down through a pile of stones;it takes hold on a bed of rocks.
18. But when it is uprooted,it’s as though it never existed!
19. That’s the end of its life,and others spring up from the earth to replace it.
20. “But look, God will not reject a person of integrity,nor will he lend a hand to the wicked.
21. He will once again fill your mouth with laughterand your lips with shouts of joy.
22. Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,and the home of the wicked will be destroyed.”
