For ye shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

The land mourneth, it fadeth away; the world languisheth, it fadeth away: the haughty people of the land do languish.

Woe be to the crown of pride, even to the drunken people of Ephraim, whose great pomp is as a flower that fadeth away upon the head of the valley of such as be in wealth, and are overladen with wine.

And all the host of the heavens shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; and all their host shall fade away, as a leaf fadeth from off the vine, and as the withered fruit from the fig-tree.

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, for the breath of Jehovah bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God abideth for ever.
