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,

for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. (niv)

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

This is what the Lord says:“ Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord.That person will be like a bush in the wastelands; they will not see prosperity when it comes. They will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives. (niv)

Their people, drained of power, are dismayed and put to shame. They are like plants in the field, like tender green shoots, like grass sprouting on the roof, scorched before it grows up. (niv)

that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever. (niv)

Their people, drained of power, are dismayed and put to shame. They are like plants in the field, like tender green shoots, like grass sprouting on the roof, scorched before it grows up. (niv)
