Thematic Bible: Of shortness and uncertainty of life


Thematic Bible




You end their lives; they sleep.
They are like grass that grows in the morning—


A voice was saying, "Cry out!" Another said, "What should I cry out?" "All humanity is grass, and all its goodness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flowers fade when the breath of the Lord blows on them; indeed, the people are grass.
