"He leans against his house but it does not hold up, he takes hold of it but it does not stand."
— Job 8:15, NET Bible
“He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.”
“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 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.”
While they are still beginning to flower and not ripe for cutting, they can wither away faster than any grass!
Such is the destiny of all who forget God; the hope of the godless perishes,
whose trust is in something futile, whose security is a spider’s web.
He leans against his house but it does not hold up, he takes hold of it but it does not stand.
He is a well-watered plant in the sun, its shoots spread over its garden.
It wraps its roots around a heap of stones and it looks for a place among stones.
If he is uprooted from his place, then that place will disown him, saying,‘I have never seen you!’
