Fading

I am fading away like a lengthening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.

…at twilight, as the day was fading into the dark of the night.

Woe to the majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards, to the fading flower of his glorious splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, the pride of those overcome by wine.

The fading flower of his beautiful splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest: Whoever sees it will take it in his hand and swallow it.

‘Prepare for battle against her; rise up, let us attack at noon. Woe to us, for the daylight is fading; the evening shadows grow long.

As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer went up to You, to Your holy temple.

For if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which endures!

We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at the end of what was fading away.

Then again, I am also writing to you a new commandment, which is true in Him and also in you. For the darkness is fading and the true light is already shining.
