James 1:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation:

¹⁰ And the rich, in his being low; because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away.

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.
