New Testament

Job 8:14-22 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

14. What he trusts in is easily broken.It is as easily broken as a spider’s web.

15. He leans on the spider’s web, but it breaks.He holds on to it, but it does not hold him up.

16. He is like a well-watered plant in the sunshine.The plant spreads its roots all through the garden.

17. It wraps its roots around a pile of rocks.And it looks for a place among the stones.

18. But the plant may be torn from its place.Then that place rejects it and says, ‘I never saw you.’

19. Then its life dries up.And other plants grow up from the dirt in its place.

20. “Surely God does not reject innocent men.He does not give strength to those who do evil.

21. God will yet fill your mouth with laughter.And he will fill your lips with shouts of joy.

22. Your enemies will be covered in shame.And the tents of the wicked will be gone.”
