The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.

All of the army of the sky will be dissolved. The sky will be rolled up like a scroll, and all its armies will fade away, as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.

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

Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley of those who are overcome with wine!

The fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley, shall be like the first-ripe fig before the summer; which someone picks and eats as soon as he sees it.

The grass withers, the flower fades, because Yahweh's breath blows on it. Surely the people are like grass.

The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever."

For we have all become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is as a polluted garment: and we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
