So you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Will it flourish? Will it not be uprooted and stripped of its fruit so that it shrivels? All its foliage will wither! It will not take a strong arm or many people to pull it up by its roots.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up its roots, and cut off its fruit, that it may wither; that all its fresh springing leaves may wither? and not by a strong arm or many people can it be raised from its roots.

Say{H559}{(H8798)} thou, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}; Shall it prosper{H6743}{(H8799)}? shall he not pull up{H5423}{(H8762)} the roots{H8328} thereof, and cut off{H7082}{(H8779)} the fruit{H6529} thereof, that it wither{H3001}{(H8804)}? it shall wither{H3001}{(H8799)} in all the leaves{H2964} of her spring{H6780}, even without great{H1419} power{H2220} or many{H7227} people{H5971} to pluck it up{H5375}{(H8800)} by the roots{H8328} thereof.

The F.O.G Message
Say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: It prospereth—its roots doth he not draw out, And its fruit cut off, and it is withered? In all the leaves of its springing it withereth, And not by great strength, and by a numerous people, To lift it up by its roots.
