Job 8:12 in context

  1. 10Shall they not teach you, tell you,
    and utter words out of their heart?
  2. 11“Can the papyrus grow up without mire?
    Can the rushes grow without water?
  3. 12While it is yet in its greenness, not cut down,
    it withers before any other reed.
  4. 13So are the paths of all who forget God.
    The hope of the godless man will perish,
  5. 14Whose confidence will break apart,
    Whose trust is a spider’s web.
