14They trust a thread—a spider’s web.
15If they lean on a web, will it hold them up?
If they grab for a thread, will it help them stand?”

and his trust is a spider’s web.
He leans against his house, but it does not stand;
he lays hold of it, but it does not endure.

What they trust in is fragile;
what they rely on is a spider’s web.
They lean on the web, but it gives way;
they cling to it, but it does not hold.

Their confidence hangs by a thread.
They are leaning on a spider’s web.
They cling to their home for security, but it won’t last.
They try to hold it tight, but it will not endure.
