Job 18:16

16His aroots dry up beneath,
and his branches bwither above.

Isaiah 9:14-17

14So the Lord cut off from Israel chead and tail,
palm branch and reed in one day
15 dthe elder and honored man is the head,
and ethe prophet who teaches lies is the tail;
16for those who guide this people have been leading them astray,
and those who are guided by them are swallowed up.
17Therefore the Lord does not frejoice over their young men,
and has no compassion on their fatherless and widows;
for everyone is ggodless and an evildoer,
and every mouth speaks hfolly.
Or  speaks disgraceful things

jFor all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.

Hosea 9:16

16 Ephraim is stricken;
ktheir root is dried up;
they shall bear no fruit.
Even lthough they give birth,
mI will put their beloved children to death.

Amos 2:9

9 “Yet nit was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,
owhose height was like the height of the cedars
and who was as strong as the oaks;
pI destroyed his fruit above
and his roots beneath.
