'Grass' in the Bible
For they will wither quickly like the grassAnd fade like the green herb.
May he come down like rain upon the mown grass,Like showers that water the earth.
You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep;In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew.
That when the wicked sprouted up like grassAnd all who did iniquity flourished,It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore.
My heart has been smitten like grass and has withered away,Indeed, I forget to eat my bread.
My days are like a lengthened shadow,And I wither away like grass.
As for man, his days are like grass;As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,And vegetation for the labor of man,So that he may bring forth food from the earth,
Thus they exchanged their gloryFor the image of an ox that eats grass.
Let them be like grass upon the housetops,Which withers before it grows up;
Who covers the heavens with clouds,Who provides rain for the earth,Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.
