Because “all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of men as the flower of grass; the grass was dried, and its flower fell off,
And those living in them were short in hand; they were terrified and were ashamed; they were as the grass of the field, and the green herb, as the grass on the housetops and blasted grain before it was grown!
He comes forth like a flower and withers; he also flees like a shadow and does not stand.
My heart is stricken and dried like grass, so that I forget to eat my bread.
As for man, his days are as grass; as the flower of the field, so he flourishes.
let them be like the grass on the rooftops, which dries up before it draws out;
for they soon wither like grass and fade like the green herb.
Surely a man walks about in shadow; surely they are in an uproar in vain; he heaps up and does not know who is gathering them.
You flooded them away; they are as a sleep; in the morning, they are like grass sprouting;
When the wicked ones flourish like grass, and all the evildoers blossom, it is for them to be destroyed forever.
I, even I am He comforting you. Who are you, that you should fear from man? He shall die! And from the son of man? He is given as grass.
If God so enrobes the grass of the field (which is today, and is thrown into a furnace tomorrow) will He not much rather you, little-faiths?
who do not know of the morrow. For what is your life? For it is a mist, which for a little is appearing, and then disappearing. Ps. 94:11
And the world is passing away, and its lust. But the one doing the will of God abides unto the age.
