6 May they be like grass on the roof,

which withers before it can grow;

6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth afore it groweth up:

6 May they be as useless as grass on a rooftop,

turning yellow when only half grown,

6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops,

Which withers before it grows up,

6 Let them be like the grass on the roof

that dries up before it has grown.

6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops,

Which withereth before it groweth up;

6 Let them be as the grass upon the house-tops, which withereth before it is plucked up,

6 Make them be like grass on a roof, 

like grass that dries up before it produces a stalk. 

6 Let them be like grass on the rooftops,

which withers before it grows up

6 Let them be like the grass on the housetops

that withers before it grows up,

6 Let them be like grass on the housetops,

that withers before it grows up,

6 May they be like grass that grows on the roof of a house.

It dries up before it can grow.

6 Let them be like grass upon the housetops,

Which withers before it grows up;
