Job 8:18

If he is uprooted from his place, it will disown him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’

Job 8:18 · BSB

Job 8:18 in context

The verses around it, from Job 8.

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.

18 If he is uprooted from his place, it will disown him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’

19 Surely this is the joy of his way; yet others will spring from the dust.

20 Behold, God does not reject the blameless, nor will He strengthen the hand of evildoers.

21 He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with a shout of joy.

22 Your enemies will be clothed in shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
