King James Version
"He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure."
— Job 8:15, King James Version
“He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: He shall hold fast thereby, but it shall not endure. ”
“He shall lean on his house, but it shall not stand. He shall cling to it, but it shall not endure.”
“He leans against his house but it does not hold up, he takes hold of it but it does not stand.”
“He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand: he shall prop it up, and it shall not rise:”
“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 shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.”
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:
Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider’s web.
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.
His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.
If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.
