Job 8:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible
12 While the shoots are still uncut, they dry up quicker than grass.
13 Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so the hope of the godless will perish.
14 His confidence is fragile; his security is in a spider’s web.
15 He leans on his web, but it gives way; he holds fast, but it does not endure.
16 He is a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden.
