Job 8:12
King James VersionSource notes
“Whilst it yet in his greenness, not cut down, it withereth before any herb.”
Context
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.
15He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
