⁷ But God prepared a worm at dawn the next day, and it chewed on the vine, so that it withered.

¹² The vine has dried up, and the fig tree withered; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, Even all of the trees of the field are withered; For joy has withered away from the sons of men.

²¹ He said, "Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be the name of Yahweh."

⁶ As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."

⁷ You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain to stand strong. But when you hid your face, I was troubled.

⁵ You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.

⁶ In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.

¹⁰ Because of your indignation and your wrath, For you have taken me up, and thrown me away.

⁶ The voice of one saying, Cry. One said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the glory of it is as the flower of the field.

⁷ The grass withers, the flower fades, because the breath of Yahweh blows on it; surely the people is grass.

⁸ The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God shall stand forever.
