²⁴ For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

⁶ The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:

⁷ The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

⁸ The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

¹⁰ But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

² For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

²⁶ Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the house tops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.

¹⁷ And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

⁶ Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

⁷ When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
