The earth mourns and fades away, the world languishes and fades away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.

And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall fade, and the fatness of his flesh shall grow lean.

Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which is on the head of the rich valleys of them that are overcome with wine!

And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the rich valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the early fruit before the summer; which when he that looks upon it sees it, while it is yet in his hand he eats it up.

The grass withers, the flower fades: because the breath of the LORD blows upon it: surely the people are grass.

The grass withers, the flower fades: but the word of our God shall stand forever.

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
