The King James Version Bible

James 1:9-11

  1. Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:

  2. But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

  3. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
