⁷ The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass.

⁷ The grass withers,
the flower fades,
because Yahweh’s breath blows on it.
Surely the people are like 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 , When the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass .
