Job 8:16-19
New International Version
Job 8:16-19
New International Version
16 They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine,
spreading its shoots(A) over the garden;(B)
17 it entwines its roots around a pile of rocks
and looks for a place among the stones.
18 But when it is torn from its spot,
that place disowns(C) it and says, ‘I never saw you.’(D)
19 Surely its life withers(E) away,
and[a] from the soil other plants grow.(F)

King James Version
16 He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.
18 If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
