'Scarcely' in the Bible

“Scarcely had I left themWhen I found him whom my soul loves;I held on to him and would not let him goUntil I had brought him to my mother’s house,And into the room of her who conceived me.”

Scarcely have they been planted,Scarcely have they been sown,Scarcely has their stock taken root in the earth,But He merely blows on them, and they wither,And the storm carries them away like stubble.
