¹⁵ As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

²⁴ For, "All flesh is like grass, And all of man's glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;

¹⁰ and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.

¹¹ For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.

¹² I, even I, am he who comforts you: who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made as grass;

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

⁴ and the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the first-ripe fig before the summer; which when he who looks on it sees, while it is yet in his hand he eats it up.

⁴ He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan languishes, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languishes.

³ Do you open your eyes on such a one, And bring me into judgment with you?

¹ Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of those who are overcome with wine!

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.
