8. Grass that dies (Psalm 37:2; Psalm 90:5-6; 1 Peter 1:24)
9. Green herbs that wither (Psalm 37:2)
10. Nothing (Psalm 39:5)
11. A dream (Psalm 73:20)

Don't waste time, energy, money, or relationships for useless things. Your life is a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes (Jam 4:14). Brevity of life can be lengthened by obedience and faith.
