Strongs On/Off

Context

129:5 May all who hate Zion be humiliated and turned back! 129:6 May they be like the grass on the rooftops which withers before one can even pull it up, 129:7 which cannot fill the reaper’s hand, or the lap of the one who gathers the grain! 129:8 Those who pass by will not say, “May you experience the Lord’s blessing! We pronounce a blessing on you in the name of the Lord.”
