Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)

Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.

They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.

For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.

My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.
