Job 8:16-18

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁶ The wicked thrive^[a] before the sun,
    and their shoots spread over the garden.
¹⁷ Their roots twine around the stoneheap;
    they live among the rocks.^[b]
18 If they are destroyed from their place,
    then it will deny them, saying, “I have never seen you.”
