Job 8:8-1964 ·Bible in Basic English

“Put the question now to the past generations, and give attention to what has been searched out by their fathers: (For we are but of yesterday, and have no knowledge, because our days on earth are gone like a shade:) Will they not give you teaching, and say words of wisdom to you? Will the river-plant come up in its pride without wet earth? will the grass get tall without water? When it is still green, without being cut down, it becomes dry and dead before any other plant. So is the end of all who do not keep God in mind; and the hope of the evil-doer comes to nothing: Whose support is cut off, and whose hope is no stronger than a spider's thread. He is looking to his family for support, but it is not there; he puts his hope in it, but it comes to nothing. He is full of strength before the sun, and his branches go out over his garden. His roots are twisted round the stones, forcing their way in between them. If he is taken away from his place, then it will say, I have not seen you. Such is the joy of his way, and out of the dust another comes up to take his place. Truly, God will not give up him who is without sin, and will not take evil-doers by the hand. The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips. Your haters will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the sinner will not be seen again.”
