James 1:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 [a]Let the brother of [b]low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
10 [c]Again, he that is [d]rich, in that he is made low: [e]for as the flower of the grass, shall he (A)vanish away.
11 For as when the sun riseth with heat, then the grass withereth, and his flower falleth away, and the goodly shape of it perisheth: even so shall the rich man wither away in all his [f]ways.
