⁷ But early on the morning after, God made ready a worm for the destruction of the vine, and it became dry and dead.

¹² The vine has become dry and the fig-tree is feeble; the pomegranate and the palm-tree and the apple-tree, even all the trees of the field, are dry: because joy has gone from the sons of men.

²¹ With nothing I came out of my mother's body, and with nothing I will go back there; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; let the Lord's name be praised.

⁶ When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved.

⁷ Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.

⁵ ...

⁶ In the morning it is green; in the evening it is cut down, and becomes dry.

¹⁰ Because of your passion and your wrath, for I have been lifted up and then made low by you.

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.
