1:9 Behaviour of the poor and the wealthy

9 Those of humbler means can boast about their greatness 10 whereas the wealthy can boast about their weakness because they’ll pass away just like the daisies in the grass.[ref] 11 When the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass, the flowers will drop and lose all their beauty. So too for rich people who’ll fade away right in the middle of all their projects.

1:10-11: Isa 40:6-7 (LXX).

9 And let_be_boasting the brother the humble, in the height of_him,

10 and the rich, in the humiliation of_him, because like a_flower of_the_grass he_will_be_passing_away.

11 For/Because rose the sun with its scorching_heat, and withered the grass, and the flower of_it fell_from, and the beauty of_the appearance of_it perished.
Thus also the rich man among the pursuits of_him will_be_being_faded_away.
