James 1:9-11
91Now the brother or sister of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position; 10but the rich person is to glory in his 2humiliation, because 3like 4flowering grass he will pass away. 11For the sun rises with 5its scorching heat and 6withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so also the rich person, in the midst of his pursuits, will die out.
