Parallel
Isaiah 40:24
Berean Standard Bible · Westminster Leningrad Codex
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.
אַ֣ף בַּל־ נִטָּ֗עוּ אַ֚ף בַּל־ זֹרָ֔עוּ אַ֛ף בַּל־ שֹׁרֵ֥שׁ בָּאָ֖רֶץ גִּזְעָ֑ם וְגַם־ נָשַׁ֤ף בָּהֶם֙ וַיִּבָ֔שׁוּ וּסְעָרָ֖ה כַּקַּ֥שׁ תִּשָּׂאֵֽם׃ס
