In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it’s all dried up.

早晨发芽生长，晚上割下枯干。

早晨发芽生长，晚上割下枯干。

早晨发芽生长，晚上割下枯干。

清晨还生机盎然，傍晚就凋谢枯萎。

早晨发芽生长，晚上就凋萎枯干。

清晨发芽生长，傍晚凋萎枯干。

早晨發芽生長，晚上割下枯乾。

早晨發芽生長，晚上割下枯乾。

早晨發芽生長，晚上割下枯乾。

清晨還生機盎然，傍晚就凋謝枯萎。

早晨發芽生長，晚上就凋萎枯乾。

早晨萌了芽而發旺，晚上就凋萎枯乾了。

清晨發芽生長，傍晚凋萎枯乾。

晨則萌芽滋長、夕則芟刈枯槁兮、

清晨向榮、芽發蕊舒、至夕翦刈、遂槁枯兮、

清晨生發、隨即衰殘、至暮刈割、便皆枯槁、

光陰似急湍。漂人到大海。人生如朝菌。晨榮暮凋謝。

In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it is dry and withered.

in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers.

In the morning it blooms and flourishes, but by evening it is dry and withered.

in the morning it sprouts and grows; by evening it withers and dries up.

In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew; Toward evening it wilts and withers away.

In the morning it flourishes and grows up; In the evening it is cut down and withers.

In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

in the morning it sprouts and grows; by evening it withers and dries up.

In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

in the morning it glistens and sprouts up; at evening time it withers and dries up.

In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.

They grow like flowers, and then they dry up. They are like shadows that quickly disappear.

Those who are evil spring up like grass. Those who do wrong succeed. But they will be destroyed forever.

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.

If that is how God dresses the wild grass, won’t he dress you even better? Your faith is so small! After all, the grass is here only today. Tomorrow it is thrown into the fire.
