愿他们像房顶的草，没长起来就已枯萎，

愿他们像房顶上的草，未长成而枯干，

愿他们像房顶上的草，一发芽就枯干，

愿他们像房顶上的草，一发芽就枯干，

愿他们像屋顶上的草，尚未长大，就枯干了；

愿他们像屋顶上的草，尚未长大就枯干——

願他們像房頂上的草，未長成而枯乾，

願他們像房頂上的草，一發芽就枯乾，

願他們像房頂上的草，一發芽就枯乾，

願他們像房頂的草，沒長起來就已枯萎，

願他們像屋頂上的草，尚未長大，就枯乾了；

願他們像房頂上的草，未長大就枯乾；

願他們像屋頂上的草，尚未長大就枯乾——

如屋巔之草、未長而枯兮、

如屋巔之草、未拔而槁兮、

願彼如屋頂之草、未拔已枯、

猶如屋巔草。未秀先枯萎。

May they be like grass on the roof, which withers before it can grow;

May they be like grass that grows on the roof of a house. It dries up before it can grow.

Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,

May they be as useless as grass on a rooftop, turning yellow when only half grown,

Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it grows up

May they be like grass upon the housetops, Which withers before it grows up;

Let them be as the grass on the housetops, Which withers before it grows up,

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before it groweth up;

Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it grows up

Let them be as the grass[ upon] the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

May they be like the grass on the rooftops which withers before one can even pull it up,

Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,

因为他们如瞬息枯萎的草芥，又如转眼消逝的绿草。

被太阳一晒，就枯萎了；

耶和华说：“信靠世人、倚靠血肉之躯、背叛耶和华的人该受咒诅！这样的人毫无福乐，像沙漠中的灌木。他要住在旷野中干旱无人的盐碱地。

城中的居民软弱无力，惊慌失措，羞愧难当，脆弱如野草和菜蔬，又像还未长大就被晒焦的房顶草。

恶人虽如草滋生，一时亨通，但终必永远灭亡。

城中的居民软弱无力，惊慌失措，羞愧难当，脆弱如野草和菜蔬，又像还未长大就被晒焦的房顶草。
