Job 8:16 in Context — Job 8

14 Porque su esperanza será cortada, y su confianza es casa de araña.

15 Apoyaráse él sobre su casa, mas no permanecerá en pie; atendráse á ella, mas no se afirmará.

16 [A manera de un árbol], está verde delante del sol, y sus renuevos salen sobre su huerto;

17 Vanse entretejiendo sus raíces junto á [una] fuente, y enlazándose hasta un lugar pedregoso.

18 Si le arrancaren de su lugar, éste negarále entonces, [diciendo]: Nunca te vi.
