James 1

"Flowers Of The Field"

 

The Perspective of Rich and Poor

⁹ Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation, 

¹⁰ but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away. 

 ¹¹ For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes.

So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits.
