Grass

Narrator: Chris Genthree
Duration: 1min
A field in Israel (with anemone coronaria).
This word is often used in scripture for any kind of small herb or fodder. It is frequently referred to metaphorically to represent human frailty. “Surely the people is grass: the grass withereth, the flower fadeth” (Isa. 40:7-87The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. 8The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. (Isaiah 40:7‑8)). It is growing one day, and the next it is cast into the oven as fuel (Matt. 6:3030Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? (Matthew 6:30)).
