For we are but of yesterday and know nothing, for our days on earth are a shadow.
For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no abiding.
Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.
He comes out like a flower and withers; he flees like a shadow and continues not.
My days are like an evening shadow; I wither away like grass.
My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle and come to their end without hope.
And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my sojourning are 130 years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojourning.”
For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.
Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah
