Holy Scripture

Psalms 103:16

A church father on this verse
“"The wind shall go over on it, it shall not be; and the place thereof shall know it no more" [Psalm 103:16]. For he is not speaking of grass, but of that for whose sake even the Word became grass. For you are man, and on your account the Word became man. "All flesh is grass:" "and the Word was made flesh." [John 1:14]…”
Augustine of Hippo, 5th c. — Exposition on Psalm 103

In context

14He makes grass to grow for the cattle, And green herb for the service of men, To bring bread out of the earth;

15And wine makes glad the heart of man, To make his face cheerful with oil: And bread strengthens man’s heart.

— Psalms 103:16 —

17There the sparrows will build their nests; And the house of the heron takes the lead among them.

18The high mountains are a refuge for the stags, And the rock for the rabbits.
