Job 8:18

Verse 18 of 22. The 8th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

14whose confidence will break apart, whose trust is a spider’s web.

15He will lean on his house, but it will not stand. He will cling to it, but it will not endure.

16He is green before the sun. His shoots go out along his garden.

17His roots are wrapped around the rock pile. He sees the place of stones.

18If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’

19Behold, this is the joy of his way. Out of the earth, others will spring.

20“Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers.

21He will still fill your mouth with laughter, your lips with shouting.

22Those who hate you will be clothed with shame. The tent of the wicked will be no more.”
