1 Peter 1:24

All flesh — Every human creature is transient and withering as grass. And all the glory of it — His wisdom, strength, wealth, righteousness. As the flower — The most short — lived part of it. The grass — That is, man. The flower — That is, his glory. Is fallen off — As it were, while we are speaking. Isaiah 40:6, &c.
