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

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

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

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

⁸ Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; all is vanity.

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 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.

² Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; vanity of vanities, all is vanity.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

¹⁶ For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more.

⁴⁷ Oh remember how short my time is: For what vanity hast thou created all the children of men!

⁹ Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.

¹¹ When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, Thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: Surely every man is vanity. Selah

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

⁶ Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up `riches', and knoweth not who shall gather them.

¹ Man, that is born of a woman, Is of few days, and full of trouble.

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

³ And dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, And bringest me into judgment with thee?

¹⁹ How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before the moth!

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.

¹⁴ For we must needs die, and are as water split on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God take away life, but deviseth means, that he that is banished be not an outcast from him.
