Like A Flower

• Death

He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

• Glory

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:

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

• Job
• Death
• Death

He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee? Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

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:

But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.

The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

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

For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.

And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

• Angel
• Hosts

As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

• Grass

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
