12 Bible Verses about The Frailty Of Man

For,
“All flesh is like grass,
And all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
And the flower falls off,

Is short-lived and full of turmoil.

As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

My heart throbs, my strength fails me;
And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.

But man in his pomp will not endure;
He is like the beasts that perish.

A wind that passes and does not return.

He is mindful that we are but dust.

Our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

Stop regarding man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils;
For why should he be esteemed?

A voice says, “Call out.”
Then he answered, “What shall I call out?”
All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.

For all of us have become like one who is unclean,
And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us wither like a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
