Job 8:16 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
He thrives before the sun, And his shoots spread out over his garden.

They are like well-watered plants in the sunshine that spread their roots all through the garden.

He is green before the sun, And his shoots go forth over his garden.
Job 8:8-19 The Message (MSG)
“Put the question to our ancestors, study what they learned from their ancestors. For we’re newcomers at this, with a lot to learn, and not too long to learn it. So why not let the ancients teach you, tell you what’s what, instruct you in what they knew from experience? Can mighty pine trees grow tall without soil? Can luscious tomatoes flourish without water? Blossoming flowers look beautiful before they’re cut or picked, but without soil or water they wither more quickly than grass. That’s what happens to all who forget God— all their hopes come to nothing. They hang their life from one thin thread, they hitch their fate to a spider web. One jiggle and the thread breaks, one jab and the web collapses. Or they’re like weeds springing up in the sunshine, invading the garden, Spreading everywhere, overtaking the flowers, getting a foothold even in the rocks. But when the gardener rips them out by the roots, the garden doesn’t miss them one bit. The sooner the godless are gone, the better; then good plants can grow in their place.

He is green before the sun, And his branch shooteth forth in his garden.

They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden
