I watch, and am even as it were a sparrow that sitteth alone upon the housetop.

Let them be even as the hay upon the housetops, which withereth afore it be grown up;

It is better to dwell in a corner under the housetop; than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

For their inhabiters shall be like lame men, brought in fear and confounded. They shall be like the grass and green herbs in the field, like the hay upon housetops, that withereth afore it be grown up.

Upon all the housetops and streets of Moab, there shall be mourning: For I will break Moab like an unprofitable vessel sayeth the LORD.
