Job 8:12
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
While the shoots are still uncut, they dry up quicker than grass.
In context
10 Will they not teach you and tell you, and speak from their understanding?
11 Does papyrus grow where there is no marsh? Do reeds flourish without water?
12 While the shoots are still uncut, they dry up quicker than grass.
13 Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so the hope of the godless will perish.
14 His confidence is fragile; his security is in a spider’s web.
