James 1:9-11
Legacy Standard Bible
9 (A)But the [a]brother of humble circumstances is to boast in his high position; 10 and the rich man is to boast in his humiliation, because (B)like [b]flowering grass he will pass away. 11 For the sun rises with [c](C)a scorching heat and (D)withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.

James 1:9-11
English Standard Version
9 Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, 10 and (A)the rich in his humiliation, because (B)like a flower of the grass[a] he will pass away. 11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and (C)withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
