Holy Scripture

Job 8:18

A church father on this verse
“If He destroy him from his place, then He shall deny him, saying, I have not known thee. The hypocrite is 'destroyed from his place,' when he is parted from the applause of the present life, by death intervening. But the interior Witness 'denieth' him, thus destroyed, and asserts that He knows him not, in that in just…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book VIII

16For it is moist under the sun, And his branch shall come forth out of his dungheap.

17He lies down upon a gathering of stones, And shall live in the midst of flints.

— Job 8:18 —

19That such is the overthrow of the ungodly? And out of the earth another shall grow.

20For the Lord will by no means reject the harmless man; But he will not receive any gift of the ungodly.
