Let them be like grass on the roof,
which dries out before it grows up
and never fills the reaper’s hands
or the arms of the one who binds sheaves,

We bless you in the name of Adonai!”

May they be like grass on the roof,(A)
    which withers(B) before it can grow;
a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,(C)

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