16He is a well-watered plant in the sunshine,
spreading its shoots over the garden.
17His roots wrap around the rock heap;
he looks for a home among the stones.
18If he is uprooted from his place,
it will disown him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’
19Surely this is the joy of his way;
yet others will spring from the dust.
— Job 8:16-19
