His confidence is severed,

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.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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.

He grabs it, but it does not hold up.

They are leaning on a spider’s web.

And whose trust shall be a spider’s web.
