"For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb."
This explains why we should not fret over or be envious of those who do wrong: because their end is coming soon. The evildoers will receive judgment, so there is no need to trouble ourselves with being angry, and we should not envy them even though things may seem to be going well with them now. They will fade and wither like a small plant in the blazing summer heat, as one condemned in the presence of the Lord Almighty.
Again, strong words in a small passage. Those who trust in Christ and follow Him, however, can stand before God as His forgiven children, known and loved.
Peace.
