isaiah 37:27 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.

isaiah 37:27 "Therefore their inhabitants were short of strength, They were dismayed and put to shame; They were [as] the vegetation of the field and [as] the green herb, [As] grass on the housetops is scorched before it is grown up.

27. Therefore--not because of thy power, but because I made them unable to withstand thee.
grass--which easily withers (Isa 40:6; Ps 37:2).
on . . . housetops--which having little earth to nourish it fades soonest (Ps 129:6-8).
corn blasted before it be grown up--SMITH translates, "The cornfield (frail and tender), before the corn is grown."

isaiah 37:27 "Therefore their inhabitants were short of strength, They were dismayed and put to shame; They were [as] the vegetation of the field and [as] the green herb, [As] grass on the housetops is scorched before it is grown up.
