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

You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.

though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.

Whereas you do not know what tomorrow will be like. What is your life? For you are a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

For, "All flesh is like grass, and all it's glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;

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

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

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

My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.

Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.

But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he lengthen days like a shadow; because he doesn't fear God.

In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
