12 While still growing and uncut,they wither more quickly than grass.
13 Such is the destiny of all who forget God;so perishes the hope of the godless.
14 What they trust in is fragile;what they rely on is a spider’s web.
15 They lean on the web, but it gives way;they cling to it, but it does not hold.
16 They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine,spreading its shoots over the garden;
17 it entwines its roots round a pile of rocksand looks for a place among the stones.
18 But when it is torn from its spot,that place disowns it and says, “I never saw you.”
