Job 8:15

World English Bible (WEB)

He will lean on his house, but it will not stand. He will cling to it, but it will not endure.

In context

13 So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man will perish,

14 whose confidence will break apart, whose trust is a spider’s web.

15 He will lean on his house, but it will not stand. He will cling to it, but it will not endure.

16 He is green before the sun. His shoots go out along his garden.

17 His roots are wrapped around the rock pile. He sees the place of stones.
