Job 8:13-19

¹³That''s what happens to all who forget God--all their hopes come to nothing.

¹⁴They hang their life from one thin thread, they hitch their fate to a spider web.

¹⁵One jiggle and the thread breaks, one jab and the web collapses.

¹⁶Or they''re like weeds springing up in the sunshine, invading the garden,

¹⁷Spreading everywhere, overtaking the flowers, getting a foothold even in the rocks.

¹⁸But when the gardener rips them out by the roots, the garden doesn''t miss them one bit.

¹⁹The sooner the godless are gone, the better; then good plants can grow in their place.
