⁹ (For we are but of yesterday, and have no knowledge, because our days on earth are gone like a shade:)

¹⁵ For we, as all our fathers were, are like men from a strange country before you, who have got a place for a time in the land; our days on the earth are like a shade, and there is no hope of going on.

² He comes out like a flower, and is cut down: he goes in flight like a shade, and is never seen again.

⁴ Man is like a breath: his life is like a shade which is quickly gone.

⁹ And Jacob said, The years of my wanderings have been a hundred and thirty; small in number and full of sorrow have been the years of my life, and less than the years of the wanderings of my fathers.

⁶ My days go quicker than the cloth-worker's thread, and come to an end without hope.

¹¹ My days are like a shade which is stretched out; I am dry like the grass.

⁵ You have made my days no longer than a hand's measure; and my years are nothing in your eyes; truly, every man is but a breath. (Selah.)

⁴ For to you a thousand years are no more than yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night.
