- his days:
- "Thou carriest them away as with a flood;ª° they are¹ [as] a sleep:ª in the morningª [they are] like grassª [which] groweth up.ª° ... In the morningª it flourisheth,ª° and groweth up;ª° in the eveningª it is cut down,ª° and withereth.ª°" {Psa 90:5-6} + "The voiceª said,ª° Cry.ª° And he said,ª° What¹ shall I cry?ª° All¹ fleshª [is] grass,ª and all¹ the goodlinessª thereof [is] as the flowerª of the field:ª ... The grassª withereth,ª° the flowerª fadeth:ª° but the wordª of our Godª shall standª° for ever.ª" {Isa 40:6-8} + "I,¹ [even] I,¹ [am] he¹ that comfortethª° you: who¹ [art] thou,¹ that thou shouldest be afraidª° of a manª¹ [that] shall die,ª° and of the sonª¹ of manª [which] shall be madeª° [as] grass;ª" {Isa 51:12} + "Butª the¹ rich,ª inª that he²¹ is made low:ª becauseª asª the flowerª of the grassª he shall pass away.ª° ... Forª the¹ sunª is no sooner risenª° withª a burning heat,ª butª it witherethª° the¹ grass,ª andª the¹ flowerª thereofª falleth,ª° andª the¹ graceª of the¹ fashionª of itª perisheth:ª° soª alsoª shall²° the¹ rich manª fade awayª° inª his²¹ ways.ª" {Jms 1:10-11} + "Forª allª fleshª [is] asª grass,ª andª allª the gloryª of manª asª the flowerª of grass.ª The¹ grassª withereth,ª° andª the¹ flowerª thereofª falleth away:ª°" {1Pe 1:24}
