Job 8:9-22
-
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.
-
18 If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.
-
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
-
20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
-
21 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
-
22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
