isaiah 44:4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.

isaiah 44:4 And they will spring up among the grass Like poplars by streams of water.'

4. they--thy "seed" and "offspring" (Isa 44:3).
as among--needlessly inserted in English Version. Rather, "The seed shall spring up as willows among the grass beside canals of water" [HORSLEY]. Or, "They shall spring up among the grass (that is, luxuriantly; for what grows in the midst of grass grows luxuriantly) as willows by the water-courses," which makes the parallel clauses better balanced [MAURER].

isaiah 44:4 And they will spring up among the grass Like poplars by streams of water.'
