Job 8:14-16
New Living Translation

14 Their confidence hangs by a thread.
    They are leaning on a spider’s web.
15 They cling to their home for security, but it won’t last.
    They try to hold it tight, but it will not endure.
16 The godless seem like a lush plant growing in the sunshine,
    its branches spreading across the garden.

14 What they trust in is fragile[a];

15 They lean on the web,(B) but it gives way;
    they cling to it, but it does not hold.(C)
16 They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine,
    spreading its shoots(D) over the garden;(E)
