愿他们像房顶上的草，一发芽就枯干，

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,

因为他们如草快被割下，又如绿色的嫩草快要枯干。

太阳出来一晒，因为没有根就枯干了。

耶和华如此说：“倚靠人，以血肉为膀臂，心中离弃耶和华的，那人该受诅咒！他必像沙漠里的矮树，不见福乐来到；他要住在旷野干旱之处，无人居住的盐地。

城里居民的力量甚小，他们惊惶羞愧；像野草，像青菜，如房顶上的草，被东风刮散。

恶人虽茂盛如草，作恶的人虽全都兴旺，他们却要灭亡，直到永远。

城里的居民力量微小，他们惊惶羞愧；像野草，像青菜，如房顶上的草，又如未长成而枯干的禾稼。
