For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the green grass has withered away, the grass fails, there is no green thing.

And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of jackals, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

Therefore their inhabitants were of little power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as grain blighted before it is grown.

The voice said, } Cry. { And he said, What shall I cry? {} All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is as the flower of the field:

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.

And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.

I, even I, am he that comforts you: who are you, that you should be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made as grass;

And when you see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the grass: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
