'Grass' in the Bible

Therefore, as the tongue of fire consumes the stubble [from straw]And the dry grass collapses into the flame,So their root will become like rot and their blossom blow away like fine dust;Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hostsAnd despised and discarded the word of the Holy One of Israel.

For the waters of Nimrim are desolate.Indeed the grass is withered, the new growth dies;There is no green thing.

And the burning sand (mirage) will become a pool [of water]And the thirsty ground springs of water;In the haunt of jackals, where they lay resting,Grass becomes reeds and rushes.

“Therefore their inhabitants had little power,They were terrorized and shamed;They were like the grass of the field and the green vegetation,Like grass on the housetops and like a field [of grain] scorched before it is grown.

A voice says, “Call out [prophesy].”Then he answered, “What shall I call out?”[The voice answered:] All humanity is [as frail as] grass, and all that makes it attractive [its charm, its loveliness] is [momentary] like the flower of the field.

The grass withers, the flower fades,When the breath of the Lord blows upon it;Most certainly [all] the people are [like] grass.

The grass withers, the flower fades,But the word of our God stands forever.

And they will spring up among the grassLike willows by the streams of water.’

“I, even I, am He who comforts you.Who are you that you are afraid of man who diesAnd of a son of man who is made [as destructible] as grass,

When you see this, your heart will rejoice;Your bones will flourish like new grass.And the [powerful] hand of the Lord will be revealed to His servants,But His indignation will be toward His enemies.
