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

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.

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye on the housetops.

And let him which is on the housetop, not come down to fetch anything out of his house.

And let him that is on the housetop, not descend down into the house, neither enter therein, to fetch anything out of his house.

At that day, he that is on the housetop, and his stuff in the house: let him not come down to take it out. And likewise let not him that is in the fields, turn back again to that he left behind.

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

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