Job 8:16-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
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. 18If he is removed from his place, Then it will deny him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’ 19Behold, this is the joy of His way; And out of the dust others will spring. 20Behold, God will not reject a person of integrity, Nor will He help evildoers.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
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. 18If he is uprooted from his place, it will deny knowing him, saying, "I never saw you." 19Surely this is the joy of his way of life; yet others will sprout from the dust.New Living Translation
Chapter 8
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. 18But when it is uprooted, it’s as though it never existed! 19That’s the end of its life, and others spring up from the earth to replace it.English Standard Version
Chapter 8
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. 18If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have never seen you.’ 19Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the soil others will spring. 20"Behold, God will not reject a blameless man, nor take the hand of evildoers.New International Version
