10. Will they not teach you, and tell you,and bring forth words out of their heart?
11. Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh?Can the reed grow without water?
12. While it is yet green and not cut down,it withers before any other plant.
13. So are the paths of all who forget God;and the hypocrite’s hope will perish,
14. whose confidence will be cut off,and whose trust will be a spider’s web.
15. He will lean upon his house, but it will not stand;he will hold it fast, but it will not endure.
16. He is green before the sun,and his branch shoots forth in his garden.
17. His roots are wrapped around the rock heap,and he sees the place of stones.
18. If he is uprooted from his place,then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’
