for “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls,
A voice says, “Cry!” And I said, “What shall I cry?” All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field.

As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field;
yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.
and the rich in his humiliation, because like a flower of the grass he will pass away. For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb.
while their inhabitants, shorn of strength, are dismayed and confounded, and have become like plants of the field and like tender grass, like grass on the housetops, blighted before it is grown.
And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever;
My heart is struck down like grass and has withered; I forget to eat my bread.
You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning:
