I myself have seen the ungodly in great power, and flourishing like a green bay-tree.

Lo, these are the ungodly, these prosper in the world, these have riches in possession;

As soon as thou scatterest them, they are even as asleep, and fade away suddenly like the grass.

How long shall all wicked doers speak so disdainfully, and make such proud boasting?

that a man in his time is but as grass, and flourisheth as a flower of the field.

for the turning away of the unwise shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall be their own destruction.

For their inhabiters shall be like lame men, brought in fear and confounded. They shall be like the grass and green herbs in the field, like the hay upon housetops, that withereth afore it be grown up.

The same voice spake, "Now cry." And I said, "What shall I cry?" Then spake it, "That all flesh is grass, and that all the beauty thereof, is as the flower of the field.

O LORD, thou art more righteous than that I should dispute with thee: Nevertheless, let me talk with thee in things reasonable. How happeneth it, that the way of the ungodly is so prosperous? And that it goeth so well with them, which without any shame offend and live in wickedness?

Therefore may we say, that the proud are happy, and that they which deal with ungodliness, are set up: for they tempt God and yet escape.'

For mark, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven: and all the proud, yea and all such as do wickedness, shall be straw: and the day that is for to come, shall burn them up, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, so that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

"There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple, and fine bysse, and fared deliciously every day.

and the rich in that he is made low. For even as the flower of the grass shall he vanish away.

For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man is as the flower of grass; the grass is withered, and the flower falleth away,
