Job 8:13 In-Context

11 Can papyrus grow tall where there is no marsh? Can reeds thrive without water?
12 While still growing and uncut, they wither more quickly than grass.
13 Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so perishes the hope of the godless.
14 What they trust in is fragile ; what they rely on is a spider’s web.
15 They lean on the web, but it gives way; they cling to it, but it does not hold.
