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

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.

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."
