Job 8:17-19

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁷ Its roots weave through a pile of stones.
They cling to a stone house.
¹⁸ But when it is uprooted from its place,
⌞the ground⌟ denies it ⌞and says⌟, ‘I never saw you!’
¹⁹ That is its joy in this life,
and others sprout from the same ground to ⌞take its place⌟.
