15:6 For the waters of Nimrim are gone; 1
the grass is dried up,
the vegetation has disappeared,
and there are no plants.
40:24 Indeed, they are barely planted;
yes, they are barely sown;
yes, they barely take root in the earth,
and then he blows on them, causing them to dry up,
and the wind carries them away like straw.
1 tn Heb “are waste places”; cf. NRSV “are a desolation.”
