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.

This is why their townsmen had no power, they were broken and put to shame; they were like the grass of the field, or a green plant; like the grass on the house-tops, which a cold wind makes waste.

δια τουτο οι κατοικοι αυτων ησαν μικρας δυναμεως, ετρομαξαν και κατησχυνθησαν· ησαν ως ο χορτος του αγρου και ως η χλοη, ως ο χορτος των δωματων και ως ο σιτος ο καιομενος πριν καλαμωση.

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.
