Job 29:19

Job's Final Defense

¹⁸ “Then I thought, ‘I shall die in my nest,
And I shall multiply my days as the sand.
¹⁹ ‘My root is spread out to the waters,
And dew lies all night on my branch.
²⁰ ‘My glory is ever new with me,
And my bow is renewed in my hand.’

Job

And his branch is cut off above.

Jeremiah 17:8

“For he will be like a tree planted by the water,
That extends its roots by a stream
And will not fear when the heat comes;
But its leaves will be green,
And it will not be anxious in a year of drought
Nor cease to yield fruit.

Psalm 1:3

He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.

Hosea 14:5-7

I will be like the dew to Israel;
He will blossom like the lily,
And he will take root like the cedars of Lebanon.
