'Fading' in the Bible

Woe to the majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards,and to the fading flower of its beautiful splendor,which is on the summit above the rich valley.Woe to those overcome with wine.

The fading flower of his beautiful splendor,which is on the summit above the rich valley,will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest.Whoever sees it will swallow itwhile it is still in his hand.

As my life was fading away,I remembered Yahweh.My prayer came to You,to Your holy temple.

Now if the ministry of death, chiseled in letters on stones, came with glory, so that the Israelites were not able to look directly at Moses’ face because of the glory from his face—a fading glory—

For if what was fading away was glorious, what endures will be even more glorious.

We are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the Israelites could not stare at the end of what was fading away,
