Let them be like (A)grass upon the rooftops,
Which dries up before it [a]grows up;
With which the reaper does not fill his [b]hand,
Nor the binder of sheaves the (B)fold of his garment;
And those who pass by will not say,
“The (C)blessing of Yahweh be upon you;
We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”

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)
    nor one who gathers fill his arms.
May those who pass by not say to them,
    “The blessing of the Lord be on you;
    we bless you(D) in the name of the Lord.”
