Job 14:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

You have swept them away like a flood, they

fall asleep;

In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew.

That when the wicked sprouted up like grass
And all who did iniquity flourished,
It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore.

As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

A voice says, “Call out.”
Then he answered, “What shall I call out?”

All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.

and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.

Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.

For,
“All flesh is like grass,
And all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
And the flower falls off,

“For we are only of yesterday and know nothing,
Because our days on earth are as a shadow.

“Now my days are swifter than a runner;
They flee away, they see no good.

For we are sojourners before You, and tenants, as all our fathers were; our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope.

My days are like a

lengthened shadow,

And I wither away like grass.

Man is like a mere breath;

His days are like a passing shadow.

But it will not be well for the evil man and he will not lengthen his days like a shadow, because he does not fear God.

In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew;
Toward evening it fades and withers away.
