Job 8:12
Douay-Rheims
When it is yet in flower, and is not plucked up with the hand, it withereth before all herbs.
Rashi
in its greenness In its moisture and with its produce.
will not be plucked Heb. יקטף, will not be broken or pulled off; like (Deut. 23:26), “you may pluck (וקטפת) ears.”
but before any other grass it will dry up Before any other grass [does], it will dry up when the water evaporates and the marsh dries up.
