For

All flesh is like grass,
and all its glory like a flower of the grass.
The grass withers, and the flower falls,

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.

but the one who is rich should boast in his humiliation because he will pass away like a flower of the field.

Their inhabitants have become powerless,
dismayed, and ashamed.
They are plants of the field,
tender grass,
grass on the rooftops,
blasted by the east wind.

For they wither quickly like grass
and wilt like tender green plants.

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

though the wicked sprout like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be eternally destroyed.

My heart is afflicted, withered like grass;
I even forget to eat my food.

As for man, his days are like grass—
he blooms like a flower of the field;

Let them be like grass on the rooftops,
which withers before it grows up

You don’t even know what tomorrow will bring—what your life will be! For you are like smoke that appears for a little while, then vanishes.

And the world with its lust is passing away, but the one who does God’s will remains forever.
