⁹ (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days upon earth are a shadow);

¹⁵ For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers were: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no abiding.

² He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

⁴ Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away.

⁹ And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years: few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.

⁶ My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, And are spent without hope.

¹¹ My days are like a shadow that declineth; And I am withered like grass.

⁵ Behold, thou hast made my days `as' handbreadths; And my life-time is as nothing before thee: Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Selah

⁴ For a thousand years in thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.
