Job 8:15 Context
13So are the paths of all that forget God, and the hypocrites hope shall perish: 14Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spiders web. 15He shall leane vpon his house, but it shall not stand: he shal hold it fast, but it shall not endure. 16He is greene before the sunne, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden. 17His roots are wrapped about the heape, and seeth the place of stones.

8:15 House - He shall trust to the multitude of his children and servants, and to his wealth, all which come under the name of a man's house in scripture. Hold it - To uphold himself by it. But his web, that refuge of lies, will be swept away, and he crushed in it.
