'Withers' in the Bible
Those who were full must hire themselves out for bread, but those who are hungry will become fat. As for the infertile, she will bear seven, but [she who has] many sons withers away.
While it [is] in its flower [and] is not plucked, yet it withers {before} all grass.
Like a flower he comes up, and he withers away; and he flees like a shadow, but he does not last.
[As] water disappears from a lake, and a river withers away and dries up,
In the morning it blossoms and sprouts anew; by evening it withers and dries up.
My heart is struck like grass and withers. Indeed, I forget to eat my bread.
Let them be like grass on [the] housetops, that withers before it grows up,
For Heshbon withers the fields, the vine of Sibmah; rulers of nations have broken down her tendrils, they reached up to Jazer, they wandered [to the] desert; her shoots spread abroad, they crossed over [the] sea.
The earth dries up, it withers; [the] world languishes, it withers. The elevated of the people of the earth languish,
[The] land mourns; it languishes. Lebanon feels abashed; it withers. Sharon is like the desert, and Bashan and Carmel {are losing their leaves}.
Grass withers; [the] flower withers when the breath of Yahweh blows on it. Surely the people [are] grass.
Grass withers; [the] flower withers, but the word of our God will stand forever.
The vine withers and the fig tree droops. The pomegranate tree, and also the palm tree, the apple tree --all the trees of the field--are dried up. Indeed, joy is dried up among the sons of men.
