愿他们像屋顶上的草，尚未长大，就枯干了；

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，

愿他们像房顶的草，没长起来就已枯萎，

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,

因为他们好像草快要枯干，像即将凋萎的青草。

但太阳一出来，就把它晒干，又因为没有根就枯萎了。

耶和华这样说：“倚靠世人，恃凭肉体为自己的力量，心里偏离耶和华的，这人该受咒诅。他必像沙漠中的灌木，福乐来到，他也必看不见，却要住在旷野干旱之地、无人居住的咸地。

因此，其中的居民软弱无力，惊惶羞愧，像田间的蔬菜和青绿的草，又像房顶上的草，还没有长起来，就干焦了。

恶人虽好像草一样繁茂，所有作孽的人虽然兴旺，他们都要永远灭亡。

他们的居民没有能力，惊惶、羞惭。他们好像田野的嫩草，青绿的蔬菜，和房顶上的草，还未长成就枯萎了。
