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:
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
24 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:
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:

8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
9 The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
18 If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.
10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
12 I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
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:
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
