12 While still uncut shoots,they would dry up quicker than any other plant.
13 Such is the destiny of all who forget God;the hope of the godless will perish.
14 His source of confidence is fragile; what he trusts in is a spider’s web.
15 He leans on his web, but it doesn’t stand firm.He grabs it, but it does not hold up.
16 He is a well-watered plant in the sunshine;his shoots spread out over his garden.
17 His roots are intertwined around a pile of rocks.He looks for a home among the stones.
18 If he is uprooted from his place,it will deny knowing him, saying, “I never saw you.”
