²⁴ because all flesh `is' as grass, and all glory of man as flower of grass; wither did the grass, and the flower of it fell away,

⁶ A voice is saying, `Call,' And he said, `What do I call?' All flesh `is' grass, and all its goodliness `is' As a flower of the field:

⁷ Withered hath grass, faded the flower, For the Spirit of Jehovah blew upon it, Surely the people `is' grass;

⁸ Withered hath grass, faded the flower, But a word of our God riseth for ever.

¹⁵ Mortal man! as grass `are' his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;

¹⁰ and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall pass away;

¹¹ for the sun did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade away!

¹⁴ who do not know the thing of the morrow; for what is your life? for it is a vapour that is appearing for a little, and then is vanishing;

⁷ When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity -- For their being destroyed for ever and ever!

² For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade.

¹⁷ and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain -- to the age.

⁶ They are as grass of the roofs, That before it was drawn out withereth,

⁴ Smitten as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten to eat my bread.

⁵ Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth.

²⁶ And their inhabitants `are' feeble-handed, They were broken down, and are dried up, They have been the herb of the field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And blasted corn -- before it hath risen up!
