The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field;

As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field;

Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die.

As for man, his days are like grass— he blooms like a flower of the field;

As for man, his days are like grass; Like a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

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

As for man, his days are like grass— he blooms like a flower of the field;

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

A person’s life is like grass. Like a flower in the field it flourishes,

As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

It is written,“ All people are like grass. All their glory is like the flowers in the field. The grass dries up. The flowers fall to the ground.

But rich people should take pride in their low positions. That’s because they will fade away like wild flowers.The sun rises. Its burning heat dries up the plants. Their blossoms fall. Their beauty is destroyed. In the same way, rich people will fade away. They fade away even as they go about their business.

The Lord says to his people,“ I comfort you because of who I am. Why are you afraid of mere human beings? They are like grass that dries up.

It sits on a hill above a rich valley. The city is like a wreath of flowers whose glorious beauty is fading away. But it will become like figs that are ripe before harvest. As soon as people see them, they pick them and swallow them.

Another messenger says,“ Cry out.” And I said,“ What should I cry?”“ Cry out,‘ All people are like grass. They don’t stay faithful to me any longer than wildflowers last.The grass dries up. The flowers fall to the ground. That happens when the Lord makes his wind blow on them. So people are just like grass.The grass dries up. The flowers fall to the ground. But what our God says will stand forever.’ ”

Yet you sweep people away, and they die. They are like new grass that grows in the morning.In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it’s all dried up.

Human beings have only a few days to live. Their lives are full of trouble.They grow like flowers, and then they dry up. They are like shadows that quickly disappear.“ God, do you even notice them? Will you let them appear in your court?

He controls the seas. He dries them up. He makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Mount Carmel dry up. The flowers in Lebanon fade.

How terrible it will be for the city of Samaria! It sits on a hill like a wreath of flowers. The leaders of Ephraim are drunk. They take pride in their city. It sits above a valley that has rich soil. How terrible it will be for the glorious beauty of that fading flower!
