'Withers' in the Bible
“While it is still green (in flower) and not cut down,Yet it withers before any other plant [when without water].
“Like a flower he comes forth and withers;He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.
In the morning it flourishes and springs up;In the evening it wilts and withers away.
Let them be like the grass on the housetops,Which withers before it grows up,
For you will be like an oak whose leaf withers and diesAnd like a garden that has no water.
The earth dries up and crumbles away, the world dries out and crumbles away, the exalted of the people of the earth fade away.
The land mourns and dries out,Lebanon is shamed and [its lush foliage] withers;Sharon is like a desert plain,And Bashan and [Mount] Carmel shake off their leaves.
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.
