Job 18:16

16 Their roots rot and their branches wither.

Job 18:16 In-Context

14 They are snatched from their home sweet home and marched straight to the death house.
15 Their lives go up in smoke; acid rain soaks their ruins.
16 Their roots rot and their branches wither.
17 They'll never again be remembered - nameless in unmarked graves.
18 They are plunged from light into darkness, banished from the world.
