Job 8:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

10 Will they not teach you and tell you
    and utter their words of understanding?
11 [a]Can the papyrus grow up without mire?
    Can the reed grass flourish without water?
12 While it is yet green and uncut,
    it withers quicker than any grass.
