The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh {is} grass, and all the goodliness thereof {is} as the flower of the field:

For all flesh {is} as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: {For: or, For that}

(For we {are but of} yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth {are} a shadow:) {nothing: Heb. not}

{As for} man, his days {are} as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

For we {are} strangers before thee, and sojourners, as {were} all our fathers: our days on the earth {are} as a shadow, and {there is} none abiding. {abiding: Heb. expectation}

Whereas ye know not what {shall be} on the morrow. For what {is} your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. {It...: or, For it is}

But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

Man is like to vanity: his days {are} as a shadow that passeth away.

My days {are} like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong {his} days, {which are} as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.

Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are {as} a sleep: in the morning {they are} like grass {which} groweth up. {groweth...: or, is changed}

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; {it is} that they shall be destroyed for ever:

The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh {is} grass, and all the goodliness thereof {is} as the flower of the field:

For who knoweth what {is} good for man in {this} life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun? {all...: Heb. the number of the days of the life of his vanity}

But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

(For we {are but of} yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth {are} a shadow:) {nothing: Heb. not}

My days {are} like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

For we {are} strangers before thee, and sojourners, as {were} all our fathers: our days on the earth {are} as a shadow, and {there is} none abiding. {abiding: Heb. expectation}

But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong {his} days, {which are} as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.

I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day {even} to night wilt thou make an end of me. {with...: or, from the thrum}

They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding {it}. {destroyed: Heb. beaten in pieces}

How much less {in} them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation {is} in the dust, {which} are crushed before the moth?
