Now the brother or sister of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;

Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:

but the rich person is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.

But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so also the rich person, in the midst of his pursuits, will die out.

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.
