Job 8:16-19

Living Bible

¹⁶ At dawn he seems so strong and virile, like a green plant; his branches spread across the garden. ¹⁷ His roots are in the stream, down among the stones. ¹⁸ But when he disappears, he isn’t even missed! ¹⁹ That is all he can look forward to! And others spring up from the earth to replace him!
