Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb.
but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away.
Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord. He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land.
while their inhabitants, shorn of strength, are dismayed and confounded, and have become like plants of the field and like tender grass, like grass on the housetops, blighted before it is grown.
that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever;
while their inhabitants, shorn of strength, are dismayed and confounded, and have become like plants of the field and like tender grass, like grass on the housetops, blighted before it is grown.
