NASB
""While it is still green and not cut down, Yet it withers before any other plant."
— Job 8:12, NASB
“Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.”
“Whilst it is yet in its greenness, and not cut down, It withereth before any other herb. ”
“While it is yet in its greenness, not cut down, it withers before any other reed.”
“While they are still beginning to flower and not ripe for cutting, they can wither away faster than any grass!”
“When it is yet in flower, and is not plucked up with the hand, it withereth before all herbs.”
“When it is still green, without being cut down, it becomes dry and dead before any other plant.”
“Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.”
"For we are only of yesterday and know nothing, Because our days on earth are as a shadow.
"Will they not teach you and tell you, And bring forth words from their minds?
"Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the rushes grow without water?
"While it is still green and not cut down, Yet it withers before any other plant.
"So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the godless will perish,
Whose confidence is fragile, And whose trust a spider's web.
"He trusts in his house, but it does not stand; He holds fast to it, but it does not endure.
