Isaiah 40:24

Next

Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.

Yea, they shall not be planted {H5193}; yea, they shall not be sown {H2232}: yea, their stock {H1503} shall not take root {H8327} in the earth {H776}: and he shall also blow {H5398} upon them, and they shall wither {H3001}, and the whirlwind {H5591} shall take {H5375} them away as stubble {H7179}.

Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown, scarcely their stem taken root in the ground, when he blows on them, they dry up, and the whirlwind carries them off like straw.

No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner have their stems taken root in the ground, than He blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like stubble.

Yea, they have not been planted; yea, they have not been sown; yea, their stock hath not taken root in the earth: moreover he bloweth upon them, and they wither, and the whirlwind taketh them away as stubble.
