Job 8:14-16
International Children’s Bible

14 What he trusts in is easily broken.
    It is as easily broken as a spider’s web.
15 He leans on the spider’s web, but it breaks.
    He holds on to it, but it does not hold him up.
16 He is like a well-watered plant in the sunshine.
    The plant spreads its roots all through the garden.

16 They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine,
    spreading its shoots(D) over the garden;(E)
