    that dies before it can be pulled up,
    which won’t fill the reaper’s hand

    “May the Lord’s blessing be on you!
        We bless you in the Lord’s name!”

May they be like grass on the roof,(A)
    which withers(B) before it can grow;

    “The blessing of the Lord be on you;
    we bless you(D) in the name of the Lord.”
