Job 8:15-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
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. 18If he is removed from his place, Then it will deny him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
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. 18If he is uprooted from his place, it will deny knowing him, saying, "I never saw you."New Living Translation
Chapter 8
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. 18But when it is uprooted, it’s as though it never existed!English Standard Version
Chapter 8
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. 18If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have never seen you.’New International Version
Chapter 8
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. 18But when it is torn from its spot, that place disowns it and says, ‘I never saw you.’New King James Version
