Job 8:15-17
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

15 He leans against his house, but it does not stand;
    he lays hold of it, but it does not endure.
16 He thrives before the sun,
    and his shoots spread over his garden.
17 His roots twine about the stoneheap;
    he lives among the rocks.[a]

New International Version

15 They lean on the web,(A) but it gives way;
    they cling to it, but it does not hold.(B)
16 They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine,
    spreading its shoots(C) over the garden;(D)
17 it entwines its roots around a pile of rocks
    and looks for a place among the stones.
