Psalms 129:6
Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
129:6. Grass on the housetop is soon up and soon down. It sprouts in the heat, finds enough nutriment to send up a green blade, and then it dies away before it reaches maturity, because it has neither earth nor moisture sufficient for its proper development. Before it grows up it dies; it needs not to be plucked up, for it hastens to decay of itself. Such is and such ought to be the lot of the enemies of God’s people. The height of their position, as it hastens their progress, also hurries their doom. Had they been lower in station they had perhaps been longer in being. Persecutors are all sound and fury, flash and flame; but they speedily vanish—more speedily than is common to mankind. Grass in the field withers, but not so speedily as grass on the housetops. Grass on the housetop is a nonentity in the world: the house is not impoverished when the last blade is dried up; just so, the opposers of Christ pass away, and none lament them. Evil carries the seeds of dissolution within itself. So let it be.
