Job 8:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ People who turn away from God are like weeds.
When there is plenty of water and the sun shines on them,
    they grow all over the garden.
¹⁷ Their roots grow around a heap of stones.
    They have a strong home among the rocks.
¹⁸ But finally, someone pulls those weeds out of the ground.
When that happens,
    nobody knows that the weeds were ever there.
