15 The life of human beings is like grass.
    People grow like the flowers in the field.
16 When the wind blows on them, they are gone.
    No one can tell that they had ever been there.

    for those who have respect for him
    lasts for ever and ever.
Their children’s children will know
    that he always does what is right.
