Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?

12

Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.

So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish:

14

Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider’s web.

15

He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.

He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.

17

His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.
