Job 8:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ His confidence is only a thread,
    his trust a spider’s web.
¹⁵ If he leans against his house, it will begin to totter;
    if he clings to it, it will not endure.
¹⁶ “At dawn he seems quite strong and virile,
    like a plant whose young roots spread out over the garden.
