6 Let them be dlike the grass on the housetops,
which withers before it grows up,
The Word of God Stands Forever
6 A voice says, “Cry!”
And I said,1 “What shall I cry?”
lAll flesh is grass,
and all its beauty2 is like the flower of the field.
7 The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of the Lord blows on it;
surely the people are grass.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever.
9 oLet the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, 10 and the prich in his humiliation, because like a flower of the grass1 he will pass away. 11 For the qsun rises with its scorching heat and withers the rgrass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
24 for
s“All flesh is like grass
and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
and the flower falls,
