Yesaya 40:6-8

40:6 A voice says, “Cry out!”

Another asks,¹ “What should I cry out?”

The first voice responds:² “All people are like grass,³

and all their promises⁴ are like the flowers in the field.

40:7 The grass dries up,

the flowers wither,

when the wind sent by the Lord⁵ blows on them.

Surely humanity⁶ is like grass.

40:8 The grass dries up,

the flowers wither,

but the decree of our God is forever reliable.”⁷

37:2 For they will quickly dry up like grass,

and wither away like plants.⁸

Mazmur 90:5-6

90:5 You bring their lives to an end and they “fall asleep.”⁹

90:6 in the morning it glistens¹⁰ and sprouts up;

at evening time it withers¹¹ and dries up.

Mazmur 92:7

92:7 When the wicked sprout up like grass,

and all the evildoers glisten,¹²

it is so that they may be annihilated.¹³

Like a flower in the field it flourishes,

Mazmur 129:6

129:6 May they be like the grass on the rooftops

which withers before one can even pull it up,¹⁵

Yakobus 1:10-11

1:10 But the rich person’s pride should be in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a wildflower in the meadow.¹⁶ 1:11 For the sun rises with its heat and dries up the meadow; the petal of the flower falls off and its beauty is lost forever.¹⁷ So also the rich person in the midst of his pursuits will wither away.
