Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
Those who hate Zion are like grass sprouting upon the housetops, which withers before it can grow fully and produces no useful harvest. The wicked are given that same likeness, flourishing only briefly and fruitlessly as housetop grass that withers before it grows up. Their growth is cut short before maturity, so it ends without yield or lasting result.
