Berean Standard Bible
Job 8:17
“His roots wrap around the rock heap; he looks for a home among the stones.”
In context
15He leans on his web, but it gives way; he holds fast, but it does not endure.
16He is a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden.
17His roots wrap around the rock heap; he looks for a home among the stones.
18If he is uprooted from his place, it will disown him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’
19Surely this is the joy of his way; yet others will spring from the dust.
