job 8:11 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water? - Free Bible Online

job 8:11 "Can the papyrus grow up without marsh? Can the rushes grow without water?


      11. rush--rather, "paper-reed": The papyrus of Egypt, which was used to make garments, shoes, baskets, boats, and paper (a word derived from it). It and the flag, or bulrush, grow only in marshy places (such as are along the Nile). So the godless thrives only in external prosperity; there is in the hypocrite no inward stability; his prosperity is like the rapid growth of water plants.
