James 1:10-11

1:10 But the rich person’s pride should be in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a wildflower in the meadow. ¹  1:11 For the sun rises with its heat and dries up the meadow; the petal of the flower falls off and its beauty is lost forever. ²  So also the rich person in the midst of his pursuits will wither away.

¹ tn Grk “a flower of grass.”

² tn Or “perishes,” “is destroyed.”
