The Word of God Stands Forever
6 A voice says, “Cry!”And I said, ▼
▼Revocalization based on Dead Sea Scroll, Septuagint, Vulgate; Masoretic Text And someone says
“What shall I cry?”rAll flesh is grass,
and all its beauty ▼
▼Or all its constancy
is like the flower of the field.7The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of the Lord blows on it;
surely the people are grass.
8 tThe grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever.
James 1:10-11
10and uthe rich in his humiliation, because vlike a flower of the grass ▼▼Or a wild flower
he will pass away. 11For the sun rises with its scorching heat and xwithers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits. James 4:14
14yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For yyou are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.
