Godless People

Godless people have no future hope.

Bible Reading: Job 8:11-19 

¹¹ “Can papyrus grow where there is no marsh?
    Can reeds flourish where there is no water?
¹² While yet in flower and not cut down,
    they wither before any other plant.
¹³ Such are the paths of all who forget God;
    the hope of the godless shall perish.
¹⁴ His confidence is severed,
    and his trust is a spider’s web.
¹⁵ He leans against his house, but it does not stand;
    he lays hold of it, but it does not endure.
¹⁶ He is a lush plant before the sun,
    and his shoots spread over his garden.
¹⁷ His roots entwine the stone heap;
    he looks upon a house of stones.
¹⁸ If he is destroyed from his place,
    then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have never seen you.’
¹⁹ Behold, this is the joy of his way,
    and out of the soil others will spring.
