All flesh

And their inhabitants are feeble-handed, They were broken down, and are dried up, They have been the herb of the field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And blasted corn -- before it hath risen up!

For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade.

Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth.

When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity -- For their being destroyed for ever and ever!

Smitten as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten to eat my bread.

Mortal man! as grass are his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;

They are as grass of the roofs, That before it was drawn out withereth,

A voice is saying, 'Call,' And he said, 'What do I call?' All flesh is grass, and all its goodliness is As a flower of the field:

and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall pass away;

who do not know the thing of the morrow; for what is your life? for it is a vapour that is appearing for a little, and then is vanishing;

and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain -- to the age.
