Job 8:16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ They are like well-watered plants in the sunshine
    that spread their roots all through the garden.
¹⁷ They wrap their roots around a pile of rocks
    and look for a place among the stones.
¹⁸ But if a plant is torn from its place,
    then that place rejects it and says, ‘I never saw you.’
