The Book of Job

Chapter 8 Verses 13-15

13 So are the paths of all that forget God, and the

hypocrite’s hope shall perish.

14 His confidence also shall be cut off, and his

trust shall be as the house of a spider. (a)

15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not

stand: he shall hold him fast by it, yet shall it not

endure.

(a) Editor’s thought - Interesting analogy in that a spider’s web is sticky to catch it’s prey, yet can easily be brushed aside by the hand of man. In this case the wicked will be caught in his own web of lies and deceit, and will be torn asunder by the hand of God.
