7 The grass withers and the flowers fall,

because the breath of the Lord blows on them.

Surely the people are grass.

7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth:

Because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it:

Surely the people is grass.

7 The grass withers and the flowers fade

beneath the breath of the Lord.

And so it is with people.

7 The grass withers, the flower fades,

Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it;

Surely the people are grass.

7 The grass dies and the flowers fall

when the breath of the Lord blows on them.

Surely the people are like grass.

7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, because the breath of Jehovah bloweth upon it; surely the people is grass.

7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, for the breath of Jehovah bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

7 Grass dries up, 

and flowers wither when the Lord’s breath blows on them. 

Yes, people are like grass. 

7 The grass withers, the flowers fade

when the breath of the Lord blows on them;

indeed, the people are grass.

7 The grass withers, the flower fades,

when the breath of the Lord blows upon it;

surely the people are grass.

7 Grass withers; the flower withers

when the breath of Yahweh blows on it.

Surely the people are grass.

7 The grass dries up. The flowers fall to the ground.

That happens when the Lord makes his wind blow on them.

So people are just like grass.

7 The grass withers, the flower fades,

When the breath of the Lord blows upon it;

Surely the people are grass.
