You bring their lives to an end and they“ fall asleep.” In the morning they are like the grass that sprouts up;

你叫他们如水冲去；他们如睡一觉。早晨，他们如生长的草，

你叫他们如水冲去，他们如睡一觉。早晨，他们如生长的草；

你叫他们如水冲去，他们如睡一觉。早晨，他们如生长的草；

你像急流一般把世人冲走，叫他们如梦消逝。他们像清晨的嫩草，

你使世人消逝，像被洪水冲去；他们好像睡了一觉；他们又像在早晨生长的草，

你冲去他们，他们就沉睡；他们如同清晨生长的草——

你叫他們如水沖去；他們如睡一覺。早晨，他們如生長的草，

你叫他們如水沖去，他們如睡一覺。早晨，他們如生長的草；

你叫他們如水沖去，他們如睡一覺。早晨，他們如生長的草；

你像急流一般把世人沖走，叫他們如夢消逝。他們像清晨的嫩草，

你使世人消逝，像被洪水沖去；他們好像睡了一覺；他們又像在早晨生長的草，

你年年把人撒播去，他們就如草早晨萌了芽；

你把他們如水沖去，他們就沉睡；他們如同清晨生長的草——

爾衝人若大水、彼如寢寐、如朝生之草兮、

人之沒世、譬諸夢寐、譬諸草之萌櫱兮、

主使人逝世如水之流、亦使之如睡、青年如草、速然凋殘、

又如中宵夢。夢醒更已易。

Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death— they are like the new grass of the morning:

Yet you sweep people away, and they die. They are like new grass that grows in the morning.

You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning:

You sweep people away like dreams that disappear. They are like grass that springs up in the morning.

You end their lives; they sleep. They are like grass that grows in the morning—

You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep; In the morning they are like grass that sprouts anew.

You carry them away like a flood; They are like a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up:

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

You end their lives; they sleep. They are like grass that grows in the morning—

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are[ as] a sleep: in the morning[ they are] like grass[ which] groweth up.

You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.

A voice says,“ Cry out!” Another asks,“ What should I cry out?” The first voice responds:“ All people are like grass, and all their promises are like the flowers in the field.

They are like a dream after one wakes up. O Lord, when you awake you will despise them.

A person’s life is like grass. Like a flower in the field it flourishes,but when the hot wind blows by, it disappears, and one can no longer even spot the place where it once grew.

men who were carried off before their time, when the flood was poured out on their foundations?

For all flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of the grass; the grass withers and the flower falls off,

Terrors overwhelm him like a flood; at night a whirlwind carries him off.The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.

They glide by like reed boats, like an eagle that swoops down on its prey.

So look, the sovereign master is bringing up against them the turbulent and mighty waters of the Euphrates River– the king of Assyria and all his majestic power. It will reach flood stage and overflow its banks.It will spill into Judah, flooding and engulfing, as it reaches to the necks of its victims. He will spread his wings out over your entire land, O Immanuel.”

Like a dream he flies away, never again to be found, and like a vision of the night he is put to flight.

But the rich person’s pride should be in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a wildflower in the meadow.For the sun rises with its heat and dries up the meadow; the petal of the flower falls off and its beauty is lost forever. So also the rich person in the midst of his pursuits will wither away.

It will be like a dream, a night vision. There will be a horde from all the nations that fight against Ariel, those who attack her and her stronghold and besiege her.It will be like a hungry man dreaming that he is eating, only to awaken and find that his stomach is empty. It will be like a thirsty man dreaming that he is drinking, only to awaken and find that he is still weak and his thirst unquenched. So it will be for the horde from all the nations that fight against Mount Zion.

“ Who is this that rises like the Nile, like its streams turbulent at flood stage?Egypt rises like the Nile, like its streams turbulent at flood stage. Egypt says,‘ I will arise and cover the earth. I will destroy cities and the people who inhabit them.’
