Iyov 8:14-22 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

14. Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose reliance shall be a bais akavish (spider's web).

15. He shall lean upon his bais, but it shall not stand, he shall cling to it, but it shall not hold.

16. He is like a green plant before the shemesh, and its branch shooteth forth in its gan (garden).

17. Its shorashim (roots) are wrapped about the rock heap, and it looks on the bais avanim (place of stones).

18. But when cast away from its makom, then its place shall deny it, saying, Loh re'iticha (I never saw thee).

19. Behold, thus was the joy of its derech, and others spring forth from the aphar (dust).

20. Surely El (G-d) will not cast away a blameless man, neither will He help the resha'im (evil-doers);

21. Till He fill thy mouth with sechok (laughter), and thy lips with teruah (shouts of joy).

22. They that hate thee shall be clothed with bushah (shame), and the ohel resha'im shall be no more.
