9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
11 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
6 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:
22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
