14 Whose confidence shall be cut off,
And whose trust
is1 a spider’s web.
15 aHe leans on his house, but it does not stand.
He holds it fast, but it does not endure.
16 He grows green in the sun,
And his branches spread out in his garden.
17 His roots wrap around the rock heap,
And look for a place in the stones.
18 aIf he is destroyed from his place,
Then
it will deny him,
saying, ‘I have not seen you.’
