around rocks.[a]

and other plants grow there.

Job 8:17-19
New King James Version
17 His roots wrap around the rock heap,
And look for a place in the stones.
18 (A)If he is destroyed from his place,
Then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’
19 “Behold, this is the joy of His way,
And (B)out of the earth others will grow.
