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 hast snatched them away, A sleep, do they become, In the morning, they are like grass that shooteth up,

When the lawless do thrive like grass, And all the workers of iniquity have blossomed, It is that they may be destroyed for ever.

As for man, like grass, are his days, Like the blossom of the field, so, doth he blossom;

A voice saying Cry! And one said - What should I cry? All flesh, is grass, And, all the grace thereof, like the flower of the field:

Whereas the rich, in his being brought low, - because, as a flower of grass, he will pass away;

Men who are not versed in the morrow - of what sort your life will be ; for ye are, a vapour - for a little, appearing, then, just disappearing!

Inasmuch as - All flesh, is as grass, and, all the glory thereof, as the flower of grass, - The grass hath withered, and the flower hath fallen out,

For, of yesterday, are, we, and cannot know, for, a shadow, are our days upon earth:

My days, therefore, are swifter than a runner, They have fled, they have seen no good.

for, sojourners, are we before thee, and strangers, like all our fathers, - like a shadow, are our days upon the earth, and there is no hope.

My days, are like a shadow extended, And, I, as green herbage, do wither.

The earthborn, resembleth, a vapour, his days, are like a passing shadow.

but, well, shall it not be to the lawless man, neither shall he lengthen out his days like a shadow, - because he standeth not in awe before God.

In the morning, it sprouteth and shooteth up, By the evening, it is cut down and withered.
