Job 8:14-16
Amplified Bible

14 
For his confidence is fragile and breaks,
And his trust is [like] a spider’s web.
15 
“He trusts in his house, but it does not stand;
He holds tightly to it, but it does not endure.
16 
“He thrives and prospers [like a green plant] before the sun,
And his branches spread out over his garden.

Job 8:14-16
New International Version

14 What they trust in is fragile[a];
    what they rely on is a spider’s web.(A)
15 They lean on the web,(B) but it gives way;
    they cling to it, but it does not hold.(C)
16 They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine,
    spreading its shoots(D) over the garden;(E)
