James
1:11 For
the
sun
rises with a
scorching
wind and
withers the
grass; and its
flower
falls
off and the
beauty of its
appearance is
destroyed;
so
too the
rich
man in the
midst of his
pursuits will
fade
away.

Amplified: For the sun comes up with a scorching heat
and parches the grass; its flower falls off and its beauty fades away.
Even so will the rich man wither and die in the midst of his pursuits.
(Amplified
Bible - Lockman)
KJV: For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it
withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of
the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in
his ways.
NLT: The hot sun rises and dries up the grass; the flower
withers, and its beauty fades away. So also, wealthy people will fade
away with all of their achievements. (NLT
- Tyndale House)
Phillips: One day the sunrise brings a scorching wind; the
grass withers at once and so do all the flowers - all that lovely
sight is destroyed. Just as surely will the rich man and all his
extravagant ways fall into the blight of decay. (Phillips:
Touchstone)
Wuest: for the sun arises with its scorching heat and the grass
withers and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is
destroyed. So shall also the wealthy person fade away together with
his undertakings. (Erdmans)
Young's Literal: for the sun did rise with the burning
heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the
grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall
fade away!

FOR THE SUN RISES WITH A
SCORCHING WIND AND WITHERS THE GRASS; AND ITS FLOWER FALLS OFF AND THE
BEAUTY OF ITS APPEARANCE IS DESTROYED; SO TOO THE RICH MAN IN THE
MIDST OF HIS PURSUITS WILL FADE AWAY:
