Job 8:12-14
Good News Translation

12 If the water dries up, they are the first to wither,
    while still too small to be cut and used.
13 Godless people are like those reeds;
    their hope is gone, once God is forgotten.
14 They trust a thread—a spider's web.

New International Version

12 While still growing and uncut,
    they wither more quickly than grass.(A)
13 Such is the destiny(B) of all who forget God;(C)
    so perishes the hope of the godless.(D)
14 What they trust in is fragile[a];
    what they rely on is a spider’s web.(E)
