Job 8:11-22 - God Does Not Punish The Innocent Person
11 Can papyrus grow tall where there is no marsh? Can reeds thrive without water? 12 While still growing and uncut, they wither more quickly than grass. 13 Such is the destiny of all who forget God. The hope of the godless will perish. 14 What he trusts in is fragile and what he relies on is like a spider's web. 15 He leans on his web, but it gives way! He clings to it, but it does not hold. 16 He is like a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden. 17 It entwines its roots around a pile of rocks and looks for a place among the stones. 18 When it is torn from its spot, that place disowns it and says: 'I never saw you.' 19 Its life withers away and other plants grow from the soil. 20 Certainly God does not reject a blameless man or strengthen the hands of evildoers. 21 He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy. 22 Your enemies will be clothed in shame. The tents of the wicked will be no more.
