Job 8

Job 8:17

His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.

His roots are so vigorous, that, by the force of their own inward moisture, they can grow and spread, notwithstanding any opposition of rubbish or stones in their way.

Job 8:18

If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.

And, if his master have a mind to destroy him and root him up, the very place where he grew shall not be unknown of him; neither shall there be any mention left, that such a one grew there.

Job 8:21

Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.

Neither therefore will God leave thee in this extremity (if thou be, as thou pretendest, upright with him); nor will desist from mitigating thy affliction, so as that thou shalt receive full and perfect consolation.
