“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.”
The voice responds: all flesh is like grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field; the grass withers, the flower fades, establishing the transience of human life and earthly beauty. The oracle emphasizes the impermanence of human existence and the ultimate futility of human pride and achievement.
