Поэтому их жители были малой силы, они были встревожены и посрамлены; Они были как трава поля, И как зеленая трава, Как трава на крышах домов, И как поле кукурузы до того, как она выросла.
Rashi on Isaiah

Rashi on Isaiah
and stubble before [becoming] standing grain (וּשְׁדֵמָה) That is what is called ‘estoble’ in O.F., stubble, what remains in the ground, the roots of the harvest.
Rashi on Isaiah
before [becoming] standing grain When it has not yet reached the time to ripen and harden, to become standing grain, and it is weak and tender.
