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.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.

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

The voice of one saying, Cry. And one said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field.

and the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth:

(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days upon earth are a shadow);

Now my days are swifter than a post: They flee away, they see no good,

For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers were: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no abiding.

My days are like a shadow that declineth; And I am withered like grass.

Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away.

but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.

In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
