He comes forth like a flower, and is crushed, and he flees, as if a shadow, and never remains in the same state.

For the evil hold no hope in the future, and the lamp of the impious will be extinguished.
For all flesh is like the grass and all its glory is like the flower of the grass. The grass withers and its flower falls away.
