Bible verse
Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so the hope of the godless will perish.
Job 8:13 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 8.
9 For we were born yesterday and know nothing; our days on earth are but a shadow.
10 Will they not teach you and tell you, and speak from their understanding?
11 Does papyrus grow where there is no marsh? Do reeds flourish without water?
12 While the shoots are still uncut, they dry up quicker than grass.
13 Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so the hope of the godless will perish.
14 His confidence is fragile; his security is in a spider’s web.
15 He leans on his web, but it gives way; he holds fast, but it does not endure.
16 He is a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden.
17 His roots wrap around the rock heap; he looks for a home among the stones.
KJV
So [are] the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish:
ASV
So are the paths of all that forget God; And the hope of the godless man shall perish:
ERV
So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hope of the godless man shall perish:
