Job 8:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ He is a fresh sapling planted in the sunlight,
    spreading out its branches over its garden.
¹⁷ Its roots weave around a pile of stones,
    seeking to entrench itself among the rocks.
¹⁸ If he is uprooted^[a] from his place,
    then it will deny him:
        ‘I never saw you.’
