The waters of Nimrim were dried up, the grass was withered, and the herbs destroyed, and the green things gone.

Reed and rush shall fail, the grass by the waterside or upon the river bank, yea and whatsoever is sown by the waters, shall be withered, destroyed, and brought to naught.

But the ungodly, though he have received grace, yet learneth he not righteousness: but in that place where he is punished, he offendeth, and feareth not the glory of the LORD.

Yet standeth the LORD waiting, that he may have mercy upon you, and lifteth himself up, that he may receive you to grace. For the LORD God is righteous. Happy are all they that wait for him.

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.

When the grass is withered, the flower falleth away. Even so is the people as grass, when the breath of the LORD bloweth upon them.

Nevertheless whether the grass wither, or the flower fade away: Yet the word of our God endureth forever."

They shall grow together, like as the grass, and as the Willows by the waterside.
