"The earth dries up and withers; the world languishes and fades away; heaven fades away, along with the earth.

How terrible it will be for that arrogant garland the drunks of Ephraim! How terrible it will be for that fading flower of his glorious beauty, which sits on the heads of people bloated with food, of people overcome with wine!

And that fading flower, his glorious beauty, which sits on the heads of people bloated with food, will be like an early fig before summer whenever someone sees it, he swallows it as soon as it's in his hand.

The valleys will be split, all the stars in the heavens will fall down, and the skies will be rolled up like a scroll. All their starry host will fade away like leaves withering on a vine, or fruit withering on a fig tree.

Grass withers and flowers fade away when the LORD's breath blows on them; surely the people are like grass.

Grass withers and flowers fade away, when the LORD's breath blows on them, but the word of our God will stand forever."

A crushed reed he will not break, and a fading candle he won't snuff out. He'll bring forth justice for the truth.
