| James 1:11 | For the sun rose with a burning heat, and parched the grass, and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. | For the sun has risen with its burning heat, and has withered the grass, and its flower has fallen, and the comeliness of its look has perished: thus the rich also shall wither in his goings. | For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes.
