Job 8,18

16 De er som en plante som blomstrer i sollyset,
sprer sine skudd over hagen.

17 Dens røtter tvinner seg rundt en steinhaug,
den søker et sted blant klippene.

Men hvis den rykkes opp fra sitt sted,
vil det stedet nekte det og si: ‘Jeg har aldri sett deg.’

19 Sannelig, dette er gleden ved dens vei,
og fra jorden vil andre spire.

20 Se, Gud vil ikke forkaste en person med integritet,
og Han vil heller ikke støtte onde mennesker.

Read the whole chapter

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
