For, "All flesh is like grass, And all of man's glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: "Withereth" means "to dry up" (Vine, Vol. IV 224). The flesh and all the glory of mankind is temporal; decay and death are inevitable. The flower must fall. The phrase "falleth away" (ekpipto) means "to fall out of to fall down from" (Thayer 198-2-1601). There is no exception to that fate.
