Job 8:13 BBE

¹¹  Will the river-plant come up in its pride without wet earth? will the grass get tall without water?

¹²  When it is still green, without being cut down, it becomes dry and dead before any other plant.

¹³  So is the end of all who do not keep God in mind; and the hope of the evil-doer comes to nothing:

¹⁴  Whose support is cut off, and whose hope is no stronger than a spider's thread.

¹⁵  He is looking to his family for support, but it is not there; he puts his hope in it, but it comes to nothing.
