Therefore, as flames of fire devour straw, as dry grass collapses in flames, so their root will be rotten, and their blossom will blow away like dust, because they have rejected the instruction of the LORD of the Heavenly Armies, and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

The Nimrim waters are desolate; the grass is withered, its vegetation gone; there is no foliage left.

You conceive dried grass, you give birth to stubble; your breath is a fire that will consume you.

Their inhabitants are devoid of power, and are terrified and put to shame. They've become like plants in the field, like green shoots, like grass on rooftops, scorched by the east wind.

A voice says, "Cry out!" So I asked, "What am I to cry out?" "All humanity is grass, and all its loyalty is like the flowers of the field.

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."

They'll spring up as among the green grass, like willows by flowing streams.

"I yes, I am the one who comforts you. Who are you, that you are so afraid of humans who will die, descendants of mere men, who have been made like grass?

And when you look, your hearts will rejoice and your bodies will flourish like grass; and it will be made known that the LORD's hand is with his servants, but his fury is with his enemies.
