Let them be like grassupon the housetops,Whichwithersbeforeit growsup;
and lo,sevenears,withered,thin,[and] scorchedby the eastwind,sproutedup afterthem;
Therefore their inhabitantswere shortof strength,They were dismayedand putto shame;They were as the vegetationof the fieldand as the greenherb,As grasson the housetopsis scorchedbeforeit is grownup.
For they will witherquicklylike the grassAnd fadelike the greenherb.

"But when the sunhad risen,they were scorched;and becausethey hadnoroot,they withered away.
