When the sun came up, it burned the plants. They dried up because they had no roots.

日头出来一晒，因为没有根，就枯干了；

太阳出来一晒，因为没有根就枯干了。

太阳出来一晒，因为没有根就枯干了。

然而因为没有根，被太阳一晒就枯萎了；

但太阳一出来，就把它晒干，又因为没有根就枯萎了。

当太阳升起，它被暴晒，就枯萎了，因为没有根。

日頭出來一曬，因為沒有根，就枯乾了；

太陽出來一曬，因為沒有根就枯乾了。

太陽出來一曬，因為沒有根就枯乾了。

然而因為沒有根，被太陽一曬就枯萎了；

但太陽一出來，就把它曬乾，又因為沒有根就枯萎了。

日頭一出，就曬焦了；因為沒有根，便枯乾了。

當太陽升起，它被暴曬，就枯萎了，因為沒有根。

日出曝之、無根而槁、

故日出暴之、無根而槁、

日出見曝、以無根故、即槁、

日出曝之、則苗槁矣、無根故也；

But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away.

But the plant soon wilted under the hot sun, and since it didn’t have deep roots, it died.

When the sun came up, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away.

And when the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away.

and when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

When the sun came up, it was scorched, and since it didn’t have a root, it withered.

But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

When the sun came up it was scorched, and because it did not have sufficient root, it withered.

When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

The sun rises. Its burning heat dries up the plants. Their blossoms fall. Their beauty is destroyed. In the same way, rich people will fade away. They fade away even as they go about their business.

‘ Never again will they be hungry. Never again will they be thirsty. The sun will not beat down on them.’( Isaiah 49:10) The heat of the desert will not harm them.

Have your roots in him. Build yourselves up in him. Grow strong in what you believe, just as you were taught. Be more thankful than ever before.

Don’t stare at me because I’m dark. The sun has made my skin look like this. My brothers were angry with me. They made me take care of the vineyards. I haven’t even taken care of my own vineyard.

That kind of person is like a tree that is planted near a stream of water. It always bears its fruit at the right time. Its leaves don’t dry up. Everything godly people do turns out well.Sinful people are not like that at all. They are like straw that the wind blows away.

These ungodly people are like stains at the meals you share. They have no shame. They are shepherds who feed only themselves. They are like clouds without rain. They are blown along by the wind. They are like trees in the fall. Since they have no fruit, they are pulled out of the ground. So they die twice.

Poor people have come to you for safety. You have kept needy people safe when they were in trouble. You have been a place to hide when storms came. You have been a shade from the heat of the sun. Evil people attack us. They are like a storm beating against a wall.

Then Christ will live in your hearts because you believe in him. And I pray that your love will have deep roots. I pray that it will have a strong foundation.

So people who are dying will be fooled by this evil. These people are dying because they refuse to love the truth. The truth would save them.

When the sun rose, God sent a burning east wind. The sun beat down on Jonah’s head. It made him very weak. He wanted to die. So he said,“ I’d rather die than live.”

Their roots will be firm in the house of the Lord. They will grow strong and healthy in the courtyards of our God.When they get old, they will still bear fruit. Like young trees they will stay fresh and strong.They will say to everyone,“ The Lord is honest. He is my Rock, and there is no evil in him.”

The Lord says,“ Those who trust in human beings are under my curse. They depend on human strength. Their hearts turn away from me.They will be like a bush in a dry and empty land. They will not enjoy success when it comes. They will live in dry places in the desert. It is a land of salt where no one else lives.“ But I will bless anyone who trusts in me. I will do good things for the person who depends on me.They will be like a tree planted near water. It sends out its roots beside a stream. It is not afraid when heat comes. Its leaves are always green. It does not worry when there is no rain. It always bears fruit.”
