Job 8:17-19

New International Version - UK

¹⁷ it entwines its roots round a pile of rocks
    and looks for a place among the stones.
¹⁸ But when it is torn from its spot,
    that place disowns it and says, “I never saw you.”
¹⁹ Surely its life withers away,
    and^[a] from the soil other plants grow.
