ESVEnglish Standard Version

As for man, his days are like grass;

he flourishes like a flower of the field;

for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,

and its place knows it no more.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

As for man, his days are like grass—

he blooms like a flower of the field;

when the wind passes over it, it vanishes,

and its place is no longer known.

NLTNew Living Translation

Our days on earth are like grass;

like wildflowers, we bloom and die.

The wind blows, and we are gone—

as though we had never been here.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

As the flower of the field, so he blossoms.

When the wind passes over it, it is no more,

and its place knows it no longer.

KJV 1900King James Version

As for man, his days are as grass:

As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;

And the place thereof shall know it no more.
