9. Let the brother of low degree rejoice in his high status;
10. and he who is rich, in his low status, because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
11. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withers the grass, and its flower falls, and the beautiful appearance of it perishes: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
12. Blessed is the man that patiently endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those that love him.
