Job 8:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ They lean on it, but it falls apart.
    They hold on to it, but it gives way.
¹⁶ They are like a plant in the sunshine
    that receives plenty of water.
    It spreads its new growth all over the garden.
¹⁷ It wraps its roots around a pile of rocks.
    It tries to find places to grow among the stones.
