願他們像房頂上的草，未長大就枯乾；

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,

因為他們如草快被割下，又如青菜就要凋殘。

日頭出來，就曬焦了；因為沒有根，便枯乾了。

永恆主這麼說：『那倚靠世人、以人的血肉為自己的膀臂、其心卻轉離永恆主的、那種人該受咒詛。他正像原野上的杜松，福樂來到，他也看不見，他卻要住在曠野焦乾之處，無人居住之鹹地。

而其中的居民手力短缺，驚慌慚愧，像田間的菜蔬，像綠草之青青，如房頂上的草，被熱東風燒焦麼？

惡人發生如草，一切作孽之人一時發旺，正是要永久消滅的。

而其中的居民手力短缺，驚慌慚愧；像田間的菜蔬，像綠草之青青如房頂上的草，未亭亭立而枯萎的莊稼麼？
