15He leaneth on his house — and it standeth not: He taketh hold on it — and it abideth not.


In Context

12 While it is in its budding — uncropped, Even before any herb it withereth.

13 So are the paths of all forgetting God, And the hope of the profane doth perish,

14 Whose confidence is loathsome, And the house of a spider his trust.

15 He leaneth on his house — and it standeth not: He taketh hold on it — and it abideth not.

16 Green he is before the sun, And over his garden his branch goeth out.

17 By a heap his roots are wrapped, A house of stones he looketh for.
