1 ⁹ Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, 1 ¹⁰ and the rich in his humiliation, because like the flower of the grass he will pass away. 1 ¹¹ For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
