ESVEnglish Standard Version

Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown,

scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth,

when he blows on them, and they wither,

and the tempest carries them off like stubble.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

They are barely planted, barely sown,

their stem hardly takes root in the ground

when he blows on them and they wither,

and a whirlwind carries them away like stubble.

NLTNew Living Translation

They hardly get started, barely taking root,

when he blows on them and they wither.

The wind carries them off like chaff.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Indeed, hardly are they planted; indeed, hardly are they sown;

indeed, hardly has their shoot taken root in the earth

when he blows on them and they wither,

and the tempest carries them like stubble.

KJV 1900King James Version

Yea, they shall not be planted;

Yea, they shall not be sown:

Yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth:

And the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
