Holy Scripture

Job 8:13

A church father on this verse
“Job has not really forgotten God. Being still subject to the test, Job has offered blessings and praise. That is why the final condition of the righteous is not comparable to the grass dried up by heat. But he "is like a tree planted by streams of water which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaves do not withe…”
Hesychius of Jerusalem, 5th c. — HOMILIES ON JOB 11.8.13A

In context

11Does the rush flourish without water, Or shall the flag grow up without moisture?

12When it is yet on the root, and though it has not been cut down, Does not any herb wither before it has received moisture?

— Job 8:13 —

14For his house shall be without inhabitants, And his tent shall prove a spider’s web.

15If he should prop up his house, it shall not stand: And when he has taken hold of it, it shall not remain.
