The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

ἀνέτειλε ἐξήρανε ἐξέπεσε … ἀπώλετο. Observe the aorists here and in James 1:24. The illustration or case mentioned by way of example is taken as an actual fact, and the apostle falls into the tone of narration.

Render, For the sun arose with the scorching wind, and withered the grass; and the flower thereof fell away, and the grace of the fashion of it perished.
