9Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, 10and rthe rich in his humiliation, because slike a flower of the grass3 he will pass away. 11For the sun rises with its scorching heat and twithers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
