²⁴ For it is said, All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of the grass. The grass becomes dry and the flower dead:

⁶ A voice of one saying, Give a cry! And I said, What is my cry to be? All flesh is grass, and all its strength like the flower of the field.

⁷ The grass becomes dry, the flower is dead; because the breath of the Lord goes over it: truly the people is grass.

⁸ The grass is dry, the flower is dead; but the word of our God is eternal.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.

¹⁰ But the man of wealth, that he is made low; because like the flower of the grass he will come to his end.

¹¹ For when the sun comes up with its burning heat, the grass gets dry and the grace of its form is gone with the falling flower; so the man of wealth comes to nothing in his ways.

¹⁴ When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone.

⁷ When the sinners come up like the grass, and all the workers of evil do well for themselves, it is so that their end may be eternal destruction.

² For they will quickly be cut down like grass, and become dry like the green plants.

¹⁷ And the world and its desires is coming to an end: but he who does God's pleasure is living for ever.

⁶ Let them be like the grass on the house-tops, which is dry before it comes to full growth.

⁴ My heart is broken; it has become dry and dead like grass, so that I give no thought to food.

⁵ ...

²⁶ This is why their townsmen had no power, they were broken and put to shame; they were like the grass of the field and the green plant, like grass on the house-tops.
