Psalm 37:2

New American Bible - revised edition

Like grass they wither quickly; like green plants they wilt away.

See the chapter Copy

A senseless person cannot know this; a fool cannot comprehend.

Like a flower that springs up and fades, swift as a shadow that does not abide.

for: “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of the field; the grass withers, and the flower wilts;

Though the wicked flourish like grass and all sinners thrive, They are destined for eternal destruction;

For the evil have no future, the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
