James 1:9-11

New American Standard Bible

^9 (A)Now the brother or sister of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position; ¹⁰ but the rich person is to glory in his ^[a]humiliation, because ^(B)like ^[b]flowering grass he will pass away. ¹¹ For the sun rises with ^(C)its scorching heat and ^(D)withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so also the rich person, in the midst of his pursuits, will die out.
