³⁹ So he kept in mind that they were only flesh; a breath which is quickly gone, and will not come again.

³ And the Lord said, My spirit will not be in man for ever, for he is only flesh; so the days of his life will be a hundred and twenty years.

⁷ O, keep in mind that my life is wind: my eye will never again see good.

¹⁴ When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone.

¹⁶ I have no desire for life, I would not be living for ever! Keep away from me, for my days are as a breath.

⁹ O keep in mind that you made me out of earth; and will you send me back again to dust?

¹⁴ For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.

¹⁶ The wind goes over it and it is gone; and its place sees it no longer.

⁶ That which has birth from the flesh is flesh, and that which has birth from the Spirit is spirit.
