'Stalk' in the Bible

And he sleepeth, and dreameth a second time, and lo, seven ears are coming up on one stalk, fat and good,

'And I see in my dream, and lo, seven ears are coming up on one stalk, full and good;

Thou comest in full age unto the grave, As the going up of a stalk in its season.

For wind they sow, and a hurricane they reap, Stalk it hath none -- a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield -- strangers do swallow it up.
