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 sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning:

that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever;

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

A voice says, "Cry!" And I said, "What shall I cry?" All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field.

and the rich in his humiliation, because like a flower of the grass he will pass away.

yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.

for "All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls,

For we are but of yesterday and know nothing, for our days on earth are a shadow.

"My days are swifter than a runner; they flee away; they see no good.

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

My days are like an evening shadow; I wither away like grass.

Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.

But it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God.

in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers.
