He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: Yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.

So the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, And all the kings of the earth thy glory.
The voice of one saying, Cry. And one said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field.

For the sun ariseth with the scorching wind, and withereth the grass: and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his goings.
