Psalms 129:5-7
May all who hate Jerusalem be turned back in shameful defeat.May they be as useless as grass on a rooftop, turning yellow when only half grown,ignored by the harvester, despised by the binder.

Psalms 73:17-20
Then I went into your sanctuary, O God, and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked.Truly, you put them on a slippery path and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction.In an instant they are destroyed, completely swept away by terrors.When you arise, O Lord, you will laugh at their silly ideas as a person laughs at dreams in the morning.

Job 20:5-9
the triumph of the wicked has been short lived and the joy of the godless has been only temporary?Though the pride of the godless reaches to the heavens and their heads touch the clouds,yet they will vanish forever, thrown away like their own dung. Those who knew them will ask,‘ Where are they?’They will fade like a dream and not be found. They will vanish like a vision in the night.Those who once saw them will see them no more. Their families will never see them again.

James 1:10-11
And those who are rich should boast that God has humbled them. They will fade away like a little flower in the field.The hot sun rises and the grass withers; the little flower droops and falls, and its beauty fades away. In the same way, the rich will fade away with all of their achievements.
