Below his roots dry up, and his branches wither above.

While they are still beginning to flower and not ripe for cutting, they can wither away faster than any grass!

If he holds back the waters, then they dry up; if he releases them, they destroy the land.

As water disappears from the sea, or a river drains away and dries up,

He will not escape the darkness; a flame will wither his shoots and he will depart by the breath of God’s mouth.
