Psalms 129:5-7
May all who hate Zion be humiliated and turned back!May they be like the grass on the rooftops which withers before one can even pull it up,which cannot fill the reaper’s hand, or the lap of the one who gathers the grain!

Psalms 73:17-20
Then I entered the precincts of God’s temple, and understood the destiny of the wicked.Surely you put them in slippery places; you bring them down to ruin.How desolate they become in a mere moment! Terrifying judgments make their demise complete!They are like a dream after one wakes up. O Lord, when you awake you will despise them.

Job 20:5-9
that the elation of the wicked is brief, the joy of the godless lasts but a moment.Even though his stature reaches to the heavens and his head touches the clouds,he will perish forever, like his own excrement; those who used to see him will say,‘ Where is he?’Like a dream he flies away, never again to be found, and like a vision of the night he is put to flight.People who had seen him will not see him again, and the place where he was will recognize him no longer.

So also the rich person in the midst of his pursuits will wither away.
