Isaiah 40:24
Douay-Rheims
And surely their stock was neither planted, nor sown, nor rooted in the earth: suddenly he hath blown upon them, and they are withered, and a whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
Ibn Ezra
Yea, they shall not be planted, etc. They shall be like trees, that perished as completely as if they had never been planted. נטעו is Niphal; זרעו is Pual; שרש is participle Kal. נשף He shall blow. Comp. נשפת thou didst blow (Ex. 15:10). וגם And besides.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
