14Whose confidence is fragile,
         And whose trust a spider’s web.

15“He trusts in his house, but it does not stand;
         He holds fast to it, but it does not endure.

16“He thrives before the sun,
         And his shoots spread out over his garden.

17“His roots wrap around a rock pile,
         He grasps a house of stones.

18“If he is removed from his place,
         Then it will deny him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’

19“Behold, this is the joy of His way;
         And out of the dust others will spring.

20“Lo, God will not reject a man of integrity,
         Nor will He support the evildoers.

21“He will yet fill your mouth with laughter
         And your lips with shouting.

22“Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,
         And the tent of the wicked will be no longer.”
