Job 8:12-14
Complete Jewish Bible

12 While still green, before being cut down,
it dries up faster than any other plant.
13 Such are the paths of all who forget God;
the hope of a hypocrite will perish —
14 his confidence is mere gossamer,
his trust a spider’s web.

    so perishes the hope of the godless.(D)

    what they rely on is a spider’s web.(E)
