That is why their people have so little power and are so frightened and confused. They are as weak as grass, as easily trampled as tender green shoots. They are like grass sprouting on a housetop, scorched before it can grow lush and tall.

所以其中的居民力量甚小，惊惶羞愧。他们像野草，像青菜，如房顶上的草，又如田间未长成的禾稼。

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。

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。

城中的居民软弱无力，惊慌失措，羞愧难当，脆弱如野草和菜蔬，又像还未长大就被晒焦的房顶草。

因此，其中的居民软弱无力，惊惶羞愧，像田间的蔬菜和青绿的草，又像房顶上的草，还没有长起来，就干焦了。

那时城中的居民软弱无力，惊惶羞愧，像尚未长大就枯干的田间蔬草、青绿嫩草、屋顶上的草。

所以其中的居民力量甚小，驚惶羞愧。他們像野草，像青菜，如房頂上的草，又如田間未長成的禾稼。

城裏居民的力量甚小，他們驚惶羞愧；像野草，像青菜，如房頂上的草，被東風颳散。

城裏居民的力量甚小，他們驚惶羞愧；像野草，像青菜，如房頂上的草，被東風颳散。

城中的居民軟弱無力，驚慌失措，羞愧難當，脆弱如野草和菜蔬，又像還未長大就被曬焦的房頂草。

因此，其中的居民軟弱無力，驚惶羞愧，像田間的蔬菜和青綠的草，又像房頂上的草，還沒有長起來，就乾焦了。

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？

那時城中的居民軟弱無力，驚惶羞愧，像田間蔬草、青綠嫩草，像被東風吹焦的屋頂上的草。

故其居民力微、驚惶羞愧、如田草、如青蔬、如屋上之草、如未長之禾、

彼民荏弱、驚懼懷羞、如山野之蔬、屋上之草、未及其長、為風所暴、

故其中居民皆荏弱無力、驚惶羞愧、乃如田草、如青蔬、如屋上之草、如未成而槁之禾苗、

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.

Their people do not have any power left. They are troubled and put to shame. They are like plants in the field. They are like new green plants. They are like grass that grows on a roof. It dries up before it is completely grown.

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.

Their inhabitants have become powerless, dismayed, and ashamed. They are plants of the field, tender grass, grass on the rooftops, blasted by the east wind.

Therefore their inhabitants were powerless, They were shattered and put to shame; They were like the vegetation of the field and the green grass, Like grass on the housetops that is scorched before it has grown.

Therefore their inhabitants had little power; They were dismayed and confounded; They were as the grass of the field And the green herb, As the grass on the housetops And grain blighted before it is grown.

Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as a field of grain before it is grown up.

Their inhabitants have become powerless, dismayed, and ashamed. They are plants of the field, tender grass, grass on the rooftops, blasted by the east wind.

Therefore their inhabitants[ were] of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were[ as] the grass of the field, and[ as] the green herb,[ as] the grass on the housetops, and[ as corn] blasted before it be grown up.

Their residents are powerless; they are terrified and ashamed. They are as short-lived as plants in the field or green vegetation. They are as short-lived as grass on the rooftops when it is scorched by the east wind.

Therefore their inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops, and like a field before its crop has grown.

May they be as useless as grass on a rooftop, turning yellow when only half grown,

You sweep people away like dreams that disappear. They are like grass that springs up in the morning.In the morning it blooms and flourishes, but by evening it is dry and withered.

In that day the Egyptians will be as weak as women. They will cower in fear beneath the upraised fist of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

Even if you were to destroy the entire Babylonian army, leaving only a handful of wounded survivors, they would still stagger from their tents and burn this city to the ground!”

A voice said,“ Shout!” I asked,“ What should I shout?”“ Shout that people are like the grass. Their beauty fades as quickly as the flowers in a field.The grass withers and the flowers fade beneath the breath of the Lord. And so it is with people.The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever.”

Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die.

That is why their people have so little power and are so frightened and confused. They are as weak as grass, as easily trampled as tender green shoots. They are like grass sprouting on a housetop, scorched before it can grow lush and tall.

For like grass, they soon fade away. Like spring flowers, they soon wither.

As the Scriptures say,“ People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades.

And those who are rich should boast that God has humbled them. They will fade away like a little flower in the field.The hot sun rises and the grass withers; the little flower droops and falls, and its beauty fades away. In the same way, the rich will fade away with all of their achievements.

Though the wicked sprout like weeds and evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

Do not rebel against the Lord, and don’t be afraid of the people of the land. They are only helpless prey to us! They have no protection, but the Lord is with us! Don’t be afraid of them!”

“ Go down the rows of the vineyards and destroy the grapevines, leaving a scattered few alive. Strip the branches from the vines, for these people do not belong to the Lord.

Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good.It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones.
