Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings. 主耶和华指示我一件事。为王割菜(或作草)之后,菜又发生,刚发生的时候,主造蝗虫。
There is no method of obtaining a velvety lawn but by repeated mowings; and there is no way of developing tenderness, evenness, sympathy, but by the passing of God's scythes. 要得到一块柔润的草地,唯一的方法就是常常割草;要得到一个温柔、和平、怜悯的心,唯一的方法就是常经神的镰刀割修。
