BrLXX Ὡς φύλλον θάλλον ἐπὶ δένδρου δασέος, τὰ μὲν καταβάλλει, ἀλλα δὲ φύει· οὕτως γενεὰ σαρκὸς καὶ αἵματος, ἡ μὲν τελευτᾷ, ἑτέρα δὲ γεννᾶται.
(Hōs fullon thallon epi dendrou daseos, ta men kataballei, alla de fuei; houtōs genea sarkos kai haimatos, haʸ men teleuta, hetera de gennatai. )

BrTr As of the green leaves on a thick tree, some fall, and some grow: so is the generation of flesh and blood, one cometh to an end, and another is born.

WEBBE Like the leaves flourishing on a thick tree,
⇔ some it sheds, and some grow,
⇔ so also are the generations of flesh and blood:
⇔ one comes to an end and another is born.

KJB-1611 As of the greene leaues on a thicke tree, some fall, and some grow; so is the generation of flesh and blood, one commeth to an end, and another is borne.
