16He seemeth to have moisture before the sun cometh, and at his rising his blossom shall shoot forth.


In Context

13 Even so are the ways of all that forget God, and the hope of the hypocrite shall perish:

14 His folly shall not please him, and his trust shall be like the spider's web.

15 He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand: he shall prop it up, and it shall not rise:

16 He seemeth to have moisture before the sun cometh, and at his rising his blossom shall shoot forth.

17 His roots shall be thick upon a heap of stones, and among the stones he shall abide.

18 If one swallow him up out of his place, he shall deny him, and shall say: I know thee not.
