Job 8:8 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to

the search of their fathers:

8:9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days

upon earth are a shadow:)

8:10 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their

heart?

8:11 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without

water?

8:12 Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth

before any other herb.

Job 14:1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.

14:2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a

shadow, and continueth not.

Ps. 144:4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

Isa. 40:6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is

grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:

40:7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the

LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God

shall stand for ever.

James 1:10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the

grass he shall pass away.

1:11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth

the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the

fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his

ways.
