Psalm 37:2; Isaiah 40:7; James 1:10–11

For they will soon wfade like xthe grass

and wither ylike the green herb.


The grass withers, the flower fades

when the breath of the Lord blows on it;

surely the people are grass.


10 and rthe rich in his humiliation, because slike a flower of the grass1 he will pass away. 11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and twithers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
