Job 8:11-13

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹¹ ‘Can papyrus grow where there is no marsh?
    Can reeds flourish where there is no water?
¹² While yet in flower and not cut down,
    they wither before any other plant.
¹³ Such are the paths of all who forget God;
    the hope of the godless shall perish.
