Isaiah 40:24

Expanded Bible

²⁴ ·They are like plants that are placed in the ground [^LIndeed, they are barely planted],
    ·like seeds that are planted [^Lindeed, they are barely sown].
·As soon as they begin to grow strong [^LIndeed, they barely take root],
    he blows on them and they ·die [wither],
and the ·wind [storm; whirlwind] blows them away like ·chaff [straw].
