Grass

So the Moabites said to the elders of Midian, “This horde will devour everything around us, as an ox licks up the grass of the field.” Since Balak son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time,

And I will provide grass in the fields for your livestock, and you will eat and be satisfied.

Let my teaching fall like rain and my speech settle like dew, like gentle rain on new grass, like showers on tender plants.

…is like the light of the morning at sunrise of a cloudless dawn, the glistening after the rain on the sprouting grass of the earth.’

Then Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go throughout the land to every spring and every valley. Perhaps we will find grass to keep the horses and mules alive so that we will not have to destroy any livestock.”

Therefore their inhabitants, devoid of power, are dismayed and ashamed. They are like plants in the field, tender green shoots, grass on the rooftops, scorched before it is grown.

You will know that your offspring will be many, your descendants like the grass of the earth.

Does a wild donkey bray over fresh grass, or an ox low over its fodder?

While the shoots are still uncut, they dry up more quickly than grass.

…to satisfy the parched wasteland and make it sprout with tender grass?

Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you. He feeds on grass like an ox.

For they wither quickly like grass and wilt like tender plants.

May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth.

May there be an abundance of grain in the land; may it sway atop the hills. May its fruit trees flourish like the forests of Lebanon, the people of its cities like the grass of the field.

You sweep them away in their sleep; they are like the new grass of the morning—

…that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.

My heart is afflicted, and withered like grass; I even forget to eat my bread.

My days are like lengthening shadows, and I wither away like grass.

As for man, his days are like grass—he blooms like a flower of the field;

He makes the grass grow for the livestock and provides crops for man to cultivate, bringing forth food from the earth:

May they be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can grow,

…who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the hills.

A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

When hay is removed and new growth appears and the grass from the hills is gathered,

How handsome you are, my beloved! Oh, how delightful! The soft grass is our bed.

Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes the straw, and as dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will decay and their blossoms will blow away like dust; for they have rejected the instruction of the LORD of Hosts and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

The waters of Nimrim are dried up, and the grass is withered; the vegetation is gone, and the greenery is no more.

The parched ground will become a pool, the thirsty land springs of water. In the haunt where jackals once lay, there will be grass and reeds and papyrus.

Therefore their inhabitants, devoid of power, are dismayed and ashamed. They are like plants in the field, tender green shoots, grass on the rooftops, scorched before it is grown.

A voice says, “Cry out!” And I asked, “What should I cry out?” “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field.

The grass withers and the flowers fall when the breath of the LORD blows on them; indeed, the people are grass.

The grass withers and the flowers fall when the breath of the LORD blows on them; indeed, the people are grass.

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”

They will sprout among the grass like willows by flowing streams.

“I, even I, am He who comforts you. Why should you be afraid of mortal man, of a son of man who withers like grass?

When you see, you will rejoice, and you will flourish like grass; then the hand of the LORD will be revealed to His servants, but His wrath will be shown to His enemies.

How long will the land mourn and the grass of every field be withered? Because of the evil of its residents, the animals and birds have been swept away, for the people have said, “He cannot see what our end will be.”

Even the doe in the field deserts her newborn fawn because there is no grass.

But leave the stump with its roots in the ground, with a band of iron and bronze around it, in the tender grass of the field. Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven and graze with the beasts on the grass of the earth.

But leave the stump with its roots in the ground, with a band of iron and bronze around it, in the tender grass of the field. Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven and graze with the beasts on the grass of the earth.

And you, O king, saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying: ‘Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump with its roots in the ground, with a band of iron and bronze around it, in the tender grass of the field. Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven, and graze with the beasts of the field till seven times pass him by.’

You will be driven away from mankind, and your dwelling will be with the beasts of the field. You will feed on grass like an ox and be drenched with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass you by, until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the kingdom of mankind and gives it to whom He wishes.

You will be driven away from mankind to live with the beasts of the field, and you will feed on grass like an ox. And seven times will pass you by, until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the kingdom of mankind and gives it to whom He wishes.”

At that moment the sentence against Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from mankind. He ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.

He was driven away from mankind, and his mind was like that of a beast. He lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he acknowledged that the Most High God rules over the kingdom of mankind, setting over it whom He wishes.

Then the remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, which do not wait for man or linger for mankind.

If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

And He directed the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He spoke a blessing. Then He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.

Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.

If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!

“Have the people sit down,” Jesus said. Now there was plenty of grass in that place, so the men sat down, about five thousand of them.

For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,

For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,

Then the first angel sounded his trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood were hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, along with a third of the trees and all the green grass.

They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
