²³ I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

¹⁹ And Jehovah turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea; there remained not one locust in all the border of Egypt.

¹³ And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

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.

¹⁰ Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: For thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.

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

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

¹² For who knoweth what is good for man in `his' life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

¹³ but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong `his' days, `which are' as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.

¹⁴ whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
