Job 8:11-13

EasyEnglish Bible

¹¹ Some plants only grow tall in wet ground.
    Reeds only grow well where there is water.
¹² If the water is no longer there,
    they will quickly die.
They will die before they are ready for people to cut them.
    They become useless more quickly than grass.
¹³ People who turn away from God are like those plants.
    Their hope quickly disappears.
