11. Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
12. Whilst it is yet in its greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.
13. So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hope of the godless man shall perish:
14. Whose confidence shall break in sunder, and whose trust is a spider's web.
15. He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold fast thereby, but it shall not endure.
