Job 8:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ He is like a well-watered plant in the sunshine.
    The plant spreads its roots all through the garden.
¹⁷ It wraps its roots around a pile of rocks.
    And it looks for a place among the stones.
¹⁸ But the plant may be torn from its place.
    Then that place rejects it and says, ‘I never saw you.’
