New Testament

Job 8:13-22 Modern English Version (MEV)

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.’

19. See, this is the joy of his way,and out of the ground others will grow.

20. “Surely, God will not cast away a perfect man,nor will He strengthen the evildoers,

21. until He fills your mouth with laughing,and your lips with rejoicing.

22. Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,and the dwelling place of the wicked will come to nothing.”
