Job 8:7-17
-
7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
-
8 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
-
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)
-
10 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
-
11 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
-
12 Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.
-
13 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
-
14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.
-
15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
-
16 He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
-
17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.
