Job 8:17-19

The Voice

¹⁷     The roots twine and grip the stone heap
        and search for a home among the rocks.
¹⁸     If he is pulled up, the place will disown him saying,
        “I have never seen you.”
¹⁹     See, his sole joy consists of this:^[a]
        knowing that others will spring from the earth to take his place.
