Psalm 129:6-8
EasyEnglish Bible

6 May they be useless, like grass that grows on a roof.
    It dies before it can grow tall!
7 A gardener cannot use it.
    A farmer will not keep it.[a]
8 People that go past will not say to them,
    ‘We will ask the Lord to bless you!’
Nobody will say to those who hate Zion's people,
    ‘Receive our blessing in the name of the Lord!’

  1. 129:7 The grass quickly dies because there is no earth on a roof. Because of that, there will be no fruit. So the gardener and the farmer have nothing that they can use.
