Psalm 129:6 in the King James Version
Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
Context
5 Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
7 with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
