Job 8:13

11 Does papyrus grow where there is no marsh? Do reeds flourish without water?

12 While the shoots are still uncut, they dry up quicker than grass.

Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so the hope of the godless will perish.

14 His confidence is fragile; his security is in a spider’s web.

15 He leans on his web, but it gives way; he holds fast, but it does not endure.
