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.’
19 “Behold, this is the joy of His way,
And
aout of the earth others will grow.
20 Behold,
aGod will not cast away the blameless,
Nor will He uphold the evildoers.
