they begin to wither more quickly than grass.
Jeremiah 17:6

in an uninhabited salty land.

They will fade away like a little flower in the field. 11 The hot sun rises and the grass withers; the little flower droops and falls, and its beauty fades away. In the same way, the rich will fade away with all of their achievements.
