American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Can the {Or, papyrus}rush grow up without mire?Can the {Or, reed-grass}flag grow without water?
Whilst it is yet in its greenness, and not cut down,It withereth before any other herb.
So are the paths of all that forget God;And the hope of the godless man shall perish:
Whose confidence shall {Or, be cut off}break in sunder,And whose trust is a spider's {Hebrew: house.}web.
He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand:He shall hold fast thereby, but it shall not endure.
He is green before the sun,And his shoots go forth over his garden.
His roots are wrapped {Or, beside the spring}about the stone-heap,He beholdeth the place of stones.
If he be destroyed from his place,Then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.
Behold, this is the joy of his way;And out of the {Or, dust}earth shall others spring.
