Job 8:11
King James Version
“Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?”
Context
8For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
9(For we yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth a shadow:)
10Shall not they teach thee, tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
11Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
12Whilst it yet in his greenness, not cut down, it withereth before any herb.
13So the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish:
14Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust a spider’s web.
