Job 8:11-22 - God Does Not Punish The Innocent Person
11 "Can papyrus grow where there's no marsh? Can reeds flourish without water? 12 While they are still green and not yet ready to be harvested, they wither before any plant. 13 Such are the paths of everyone who forgets God the hope of the godless will be destroyed: 14 his confidence is shattered; his trust is in a spider's web. 15 He leans against his house, but it won't stand; he grabs hold of it firmly, but it doesn't last. 16 He is a fresh sapling planted in the sunlight, spreading out its branches over its garden. 17 Its roots weave around a pile of stones, seeking to entrench itself among the rocks. 18 If he is uprooted from his place, then it will deny him: "I never saw you.' 19 "Indeed, this is the benefit of God's way: from the soil other plants will sprout. 20 Surely God won't reject those who are blameless or hold hands with those who practice evil. 21 He will soon fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips will shout with joy. 22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked will no longer exist.
