The roots beneath him dry up, and the branches above him wither away.
Job 18:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 18.
12 His strength is depleted, and calamity is ready at his side.
13 It devours patches of his skin; the firstborn of death devours his limbs.
14 He is torn from the shelter of his tent and is marched off to the king of terrors.
15 Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur rains down on his dwelling.
16 The roots beneath him dry up, and the branches above him wither away.
17 The memory of him perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the land.
18 He is driven from light into darkness and is chased from the inhabited world.
19 He has no offspring or posterity among his people, no survivor where he once lived.
20 Those in the west are appalled at his fate, while those in the east tremble in horror.
