dismayed, and ashamed.

and wilt like tender green plants.

and all evildoers flourish,
they will be eternally destroyed.

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

Another said, “What should I cry out?”

and all its goodness is like the flower of the field.

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