Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.

The verse 24 is found in chapter 40 of Isaiah. Isaiah presents God as incomparable before nations, idols, and rulers. No creature can measure the heavens or advise the Creator. The conclusion addresses those who feel that God does not see their situation: waiting for Yahweh does not mean passivity, but receiving renewed strength because his power never runs out.

als wären sie nicht gepflanzt noch gesät und als hätte ihr Stamm keine Wurzel in der Erde, daß sie, wo ein Wind unter sie weht, verdorren und sie ein Windwirbel wie Stoppeln wegführt.
Como si nunca fueran plantados, como si nunca fueran sembrados, como si nunca su tronco hubiera tenido raíz en la tierra; así que sopla en ellos se secan, y el torbellino los lleva como hojarascas.
Ils ne sont pas même plantés, pas même semés, Leur tronc n'a pas même de racine en terre: Il souffle sur eux, et ils se dessèchent, Et un tourbillon les emporte comme le chaume.
come se non fossero pure stati piantati, nè pur seminati, o che il lor ceppo non fosse pure stato radicato in terra; sol che soffi contro a loro, si seccano, e il turbo li porta via come stoppia.
E mal se tem plantado, mal se tem semeado, e mal se tem arraigado na terra o seu tronco, já se secam, quando ele sopra sobre eles, e um tufão os leva como a pragana.
他們剛栽上, 剛種好, 根也剛扎在地裏, 經他一吹,就都枯乾; 旋風將他們吹去,像碎秸一樣。
