16 He is like a plant in the sunshine that receives plenty of water. It spreads its new growth all over the garden.
17 It wraps its roots around a pile of rocks. It tries to find places to grow among the stones.
18 But when a plant is pulled up from its spot, that place says, 'I never saw you.'
19 The life of that plant is sure to dry up. But from the same soil other plants will grow.
20 "I'm sure God doesn't turn his back on anyone who is honest. And he doesn't help those who do what is evil.
