Job 8:15

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

He leans on his web, but it gives way; he holds fast, but it does not endure.

In context

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.

15 He leans on his web, but it gives way; he holds fast, but it does not endure.

16 He is a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden.

17 His roots wrap around the rock heap; he looks for a home among the stones.
