Job 8:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶     Still the godless appears to be a hardy plant,
        thriving in full sun, sending his shoots across the garden.
¹⁷     The roots twine and grip the stone heap
        and search for a home among the rocks.
¹⁸     If he is pulled up, the place will disown him saying,
        “I have never seen you.”
