Job 8:12

Job 8:12

Compare all

10 Will they not teach you and tell you,
And utter words from their heart?

11 “Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh?
Can the reeds flourish without water?

12 ^aWhile it is yet green and not cut down,
It withers before any other plant.

13 So are the paths of all who ^aforget God;
And the hope of the ^bhypocrite shall perish,

14 Whose confidence shall be cut off,
And whose trust is¹ a spider’s web.

Greenness - Whereby it promises long continuance. Tho' no man cut it down, it withers of itself, sooner than other herbs.
