The time

Man that is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble:

Let me know, O Yahweh, mine end, And the measure of my days - what it is, I would know how short-lived I am.

Thou hast snatched them away, A sleep, do they become, In the morning, they are like grass that shooteth up,

As for man, like grass, are his days, Like the blossom of the field, so, doth he blossom;

For who knoweth what is good for a man throughout his life, for the number of the days of his life of vanity, seeing he will make them, like a shadow, - for who can tell a man, what shall be after him, under the sun?

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, with thy might, do, - for there is no work nor calculation nor knowledge nor wisdom, in hades, whither, thou, art going.

And, this besides, - knowing the season - that it is an hour already for you out of sleep to be wakened; for, now, is our salvation nearer than when we believed:

Now, therefore, let us be going forth unto him, outside the camp, his reproach bearing.

But, the end of all things, hath drawn near: - be of sound mind, therefore, and be sober for prayers;

But, this one thing, forget not, beloved, - that, one day, with the Lord, is as a thousand years, and, a thousand years, as one day.

And, the world, passeth away, and the coveting thereof, but, he that doeth the will of God, endureth unto times age-abiding.

And the dust return to the earth, as it was, - and, the spirit, return unto God, who gave it.

Lo! Yahweh emptying the earth and laying it waste, - And he will overturn the face thereof, And scatter them who dwell therein.

A voice saying Cry! And one said - What should I cry? All flesh, is grass, And, all the grace thereof, like the flower of the field:

Come now! ye that say - Today or To-morrow, we will journey unto this city here, and will spend there a year, and will trade and get gain, -

Inasmuch as - All flesh, is as grass, and, all the glory thereof, as the flower of grass, - The grass hath withered, and the flower hath fallen out,

And, another, said - A wife, have I married, and, for this cause, I cannot come!

For we have not here an abiding city, but, unto that which is to be, are we seeking our way.
