Job 8:15-19 New Century Version (NCV)

15. They lean on the spider’s web, but it breaks.They grab it, but it does not hold up.

16. They are like well-watered plants in the sunshinethat spread their roots all through the garden.

17. They wrap their roots around a pile of rocksand look for a place among the stones.

18. But if a plant is torn from its place,then that place rejects it and says, ‘I never saw you.’

19. Now joy has gone away;other plants grow up from the same dirt.
