Job 8:13-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
13So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the godless will perish, 14His confidence is fragile, And his trust is a spider’s web. 15He depends on his house, but it does not stand; He holds on to it, but it does not endure. 16He flourishes before the sun, And his shoots spread out over his garden. 17His roots wrap around a rock pile, He grasps a house of stones.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
13Such is the destiny of all who forget God; the hope of the godless will perish. 14His source of confidence is fragile; what he trusts in is a spider’s web. 15He leans on his web, but it doesn’t stand firm. He grabs it, but it does not hold up. 16He is a well-watered plant in the sunshine; his shoots spread out over his garden. 17His roots are intertwined around a pile of rocks. He looks for a home among the stones.New Living Translation
Chapter 8
13The same happens to all who forget God. The hopes of the godless evaporate. 14Their confidence hangs by a thread. They are leaning on a spider’s web. 15They cling to their home for security, but it won’t last. They try to hold it tight, but it will not endure. 16The godless seem like a lush plant growing in the sunshine, its branches spreading across the garden. 17Its roots grow down through a pile of stones; it takes hold on a bed of rocks.English Standard Version
Chapter 8
13Such are the paths of all who forget God; the hope of the godless shall perish. 14His confidence is severed, and his trust is a spider 's web. 15He leans against his house, but it does not stand; he lays hold of it, but it does not endure. 16He is a lush plant before the sun, and his shoots spread over his garden. 17His roots entwine the stone heap; he looks upon a house of stones.New International Version
Chapter 8
13Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so perishes the hope of the godless. 14What they trust in is fragile ; what they rely on is a spider’s web. 15They lean on the web, but it gives way; they cling to it, but it does not hold. 16They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden; 17it entwines its roots around a pile of rocks and looks for a place among the stones.New King James Version
