2 Kings 19:26

Therefore; because I had armed thee with my commission and strength, and taken away their spirit and courage, and withdrew my help from them to give it to thee. Their inhabitants; the people of Israel, and Judah, and other places which thou hast conquered. As the grass of the field; which is weak and quickly fading, and unable to resist any hand or instrument which offers violence to it. As corn blasted before it be grown up, i.e. all their designs and hopes were disappointed before they could come to any perfection or success.
